A unique guide to business, investment and tourism in the Western Cape. The 2019 edition of Western Cape Business is the 12th issue of this highly successful publication that, since its launch in 2005, has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the Western Cape Province. The Western Cape has varied investment and business opportunities. In addition to the regular articles providing insight into each of the key economic sectors of the province, there are special features in this journal on the big impact which the relatively new maritime sector is having, together with tourism and events and renewable energy. The potential for independent generation is an exciting new avenue for local authorities. Western Cape Business contains interviews and messages from business leaders from Accelerate Cape Town, the Cape Chamber of Commerce and the Western Cape Business Opportunities Forum. Tim Harris, the CEO of Wesgro, outlines the successful investment attraction strategies that his organisation has been adopting. To complement the extensive local, national and international distribution of the print edition, the full content can also be viewed online at www.westerncapebusiness.co.za. Updated information on the Western Cape is also available through our monthly e-newsletter, which you can subscribe to at https://www.globalafricanetwork.com/subscribe/, in addition to our complementary business-to-business titles that cover all nine provinces as well as our flagship South African Business title.
