CDM Investment Summit coming up

Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) will host a two-day Investment Summit at Sun Merpoa, starting next Thursday with the objective to attract investment into the district.
This follows after the municipality has conducted an extensive research program with the district’s private, commercial, mining, construction, agricultural and business sectors and have prepared a series of detailed project feasibility studies in order to compile a portfolio of pre-qualified and verified viable trade and investment opportunities that are available.
“We have been encouraged by the fruits of our labour as a wealth of new business opportunities ranging from several giga and mega projects and nearly two hundred SMMEs have been identified and are recorded in our portfolio,” says CDM Executive Mayor John Mpe.
“As a result we are now proactively engaged in unlocking this immense value that Capricorn holds by actively seeking trade and investment partners. To facilitate this, a comprehensive system of business support services covering every aspect of your research, feasibility study, business plan preparation, motivation to your board of directors and shareholders, business licences, setting up of your business, finding partners, investment incentives, project finance and operating capital have been put in place. We will even assist in finding appropriate housing for your family and schooling for your children. In return we need access to new partnerships, modern technologies, state-of-the-art processes and methodologies and access to new international markets. If you can provide one of these you are welcome to join us in Capricorn and make your fortune,” Mpe added.
