Fostering Growth in Green Technology

The ASEZ aims to attract investment in green technology manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, as well as research and development. It also seeks to create employment opportunities for the local community, which has faced substantial unemployment and socio-economic challenges.

A Shining Example of Sustainable Development

By providing a supportive environment for green technology businesses, the ASEZ hopes to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship in the sector. This will not only boost the provincial economy but also contribute to the global effort to combat climate change through sustainable development.

Collaborating for Success

The success of the ASEZ depends on collaboration between the Western Cape Government, the City of Cape Town, and private sector stakeholders. Together, they must ensure that the project remains on track, with necessary support mechanisms in place to attract and retain local and international investors.

Realizing the Full Potential of the Zone

As the ASEZ project moves forward, stakeholders must maintain a long-term vision and persevere in their efforts to realize the full potential of the zone. With continued collaboration, investment, and commitment, the ASEZ has the potential to become a beacon of green energy expansion and a source of pride for the Western Cape and South Africa as a whole.
