We showcased the many investment opportunities on the KZN South Coast through key media engagements and networking events.
Vietnam Business Trade Delegation
Our SCTIE representatives had the chance to engage with members from the Vietnam Trade Office and embassy at the Olive Convention Centre on 4 November. Here we promoted our market potential and opportunities for trade co-operation. As it stands, there are already KZN-based agro-processing businesses that are successfully trading with Vietnam.

Our representatives attended the BPESA [Business Process Enabling South Africa] GBS [Global Business Services] Conference at the Premier Hotel in Umhlanga from 8 to 10 November.
