INVESTMENT PROMOTION & UPCOMING EVENTS
 |
Nelson Mandela Bay, located on the south-eastern coast of South Africa, is widely regarded as the economic and infrastructural powerhouse of the country’s Eastern Cape province. The city-region is a major logistics and manufacturing hub on the African continent reinforced by its well-established automotive business cluster, as well as the Coega Special Economic Zone and two commercial seaports located with the Nelson Mandela Bay metro. |
The city’s friendly, relaxed atmosphere and affordability also makes it ideal for a family-oriented lifestyle with a long-standing reputation as hotspot for tourists, holiday-makers, and business visitors.
The NMBM Trade & Investment sub-directorate is responsible for promoting Nelson Mandela Bay as a world-class business and investment destination. We are confident that we can provide a number compelling reasons why the city-region might be the best place to locate your next business investment or expansion.
