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.
