By Glenda Capman

The business center of the Western Cape of South Africa, Cape Town, has invested a lot of time and money to renew its commitment to keep Cape Town as a prominent member of the global business community. After overcoming a lot of political strife, Cape Town is better than ever, and ready to do business on a global scale. As a symbol of the dedication to developing business in the Southern Hemisphere, Cape Town opened the Cape Town International Convention Center in order to make doing business on the Western Cape of South Africa far more attractive.

To this effect, the business district of Cape Town has also undergone extensive reconstruction. In response, many major businesses have made the Western Cape of South Africa their headquarters. The four commercial nodes or business sectors of downtown Cape Town are home to most of these offices in newly built or refurbished high rises. This area of Cape Town is where most offices are located and where most executive jobs are available.

Public transportation need not be a concern for any business in the Western Cape of South Africa. Cape Town has met this challenge by providing two different long distance rails that take business travelers into the business district from as far away as Johannesburg. Once in the city, commuters can enjoy an extensive metro rail system to take to them to meetings or anywhere else they need to go in Cape Town.

The Cape Town International airport is being continually updated to handle more flights daily, including both direct international and domestic. The airport is located close to Cape Town in the Western Cape of South Africa, so it is quick and easy for travelers to get to the business district for meetings.

The Port of Cape Town is also located here in the Western Cape of South Africa. This is the largest port in the area, and handles all of the exports of the region. The Western Cape is the hub for manufacturing and agriculture, so the port is an integral part of getting goods and produce moved out of the country. There are also large ship building companies here, who have headquarters in the business district of Cape Town.

The higher education system provides the Western Cape of South Africa with top notch graduates to fill the job pool for major corporations. The University of Cape Town and Stellenbosch University are both located here. These are the top two leading higher institutions in South Africa.

The Western Cape of South Africa is also famous for its world class sporting events, which gives major corporations a chance to sponsor events and advertise on global and local television. Huge, international companies can choose from sporting events like rugby, cycling, hockey, sailing, and surfing to get the word out about their products.

Any way you look at it, the Western Cape of South Africa has all of the tools that any business, large or small, needs to succeed. Cape Town has the new office space, transportation, shipping, advertising venues, and educated business professionals that any business must have to excel. With all of this available, the Western Cape of South Africa is one of the smartest places in the world to do business.
