Cape Town

Start local, go global

Why so down, Cape Town?

Cape Town, Africa's cultural hub, blends diverse influences to create a cosmopolitan energy. It's a top African business destination with investment opportunities, renowned universities, and beautiful coastlines. While striving for inclusivity, addressing inequality remains a vital challenge. Cape Town ranked 59th in this year's CBB, the highest among African cities, showcasing its diversity and dynamism.

Known as The Mother City, Cape Town thrives on its vibrant people. Campaigns like This City Works for You demonstrate its commitment to progress and its residents, evident in its Integrated Development Plan (IDP), shaping its forward-thinking reputation.

An economic power in Africa with room to grow globally

Where there’s a will, there’s a way

Cape Town continues to battle apartheid's legacy. However, it excels in quality of life and its commitment to addressing housing, healthcare, and education underscores its dedication to improving lives. This progress positions Cape Town to stand out as a city prioritising its people's well-being and driving its brand forward.
