TRADE DELEGATIONS

TRADE DELEGATIONS Facilitating commercial exchange and building partnerships SACCI has been active in hosting a series of trade delegations from South America and Asia, as well as working to coordinate business relationships across the African continent. The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) is the voice of business, advocating for growth and opportunity across all sectors. One of SACCI’s key pillars is Inclusive Economic Growth and Employment Creation. SACCI is committed to promoting investment and trade in South Africa and the broader region, with the goal of fostering sustainable economic growth and creating quality jobs across various industries. To support this mission, SACCI has launched a series of trade delegations aimed at facilitating commercial exchanges and building partnerships. Colombian contact In August, in collaboration with the Embassy of Colombia in South Africa, SACCI hosted the ProColombia SHE Export to Africa Initiative. ProColombia, Colombia’s promotional agency, brought 24 Colombian companies on an exploratory mission to South Africa, their first on the African continent. This initiative created a valuable opportunity for South African companies to: • Establish direct connections with Colombian suppliers, laying the groundwork for future business ties. • Help Colombian companies adapt their product offerings to the South African market, including support with product validation, packaging design, language, labelling and colour customisation. 12 | www.opportunityonline.co.za

Africa Business Connect Forum On 28 August 2024, SACCI co-hosted the Africa Business Connect Forum, a key platform designed to foster strategic partnerships and unlock business opportunities across the African continent. The forum brought together African business leaders, investors and key stakeholders to explore avenues for growth, investment and collaboration, emphasising Africa’s potential as a dynamic hub for global trade. Vietnam and beyond Additionally, on 16 October 2024, the Ninh Binh delegation, led by Mr Mai Van Tuat, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Council, met with SACCI leadership during its visit to South Africa and Egypt. Ninh Binh, located 100km south of Hanoi, boasts abundant natural resources, strategically developed infrastructure and has significant growth potential, particularly in tourism. The delegation sought to engage with key stakeholders in commerce and tourism, aiming to share insights and explore opportunities for collaboration in tourism management and economic development. Looking ahead, SACCI is excited to partner with the Vietnam Embassy for the Vietnam-South Africa Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion 2024. The event will highlight the potential for collaboration in investment, trade and tourism between South Africa and Vietnam, with a particular focus on the strategic advantages of Hanoi. SACCI will also be co-hosting an event with the Embassy of Indonesia, further strengthening ties and exploring new opportunities for trade, investment and cooperation between South Africa and Indonesia.
