We will be attending the 2nd International Special Economic Zones Infrastructure and Investment Conference in Durban on 16 and 17 July.

This event has the potential to redefine how South Africa approaches industrial development in an era of slowing global growth, rapid technological change, and intensifying competition for investment.

The conference theme of "Reigniting industrialisation through world-class special economic zones" recognises that Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are no longer fenced industrial estates offering tax incentives. Around the world, successful SEZs have evolved into sophisticated ecosystems that combine infrastructure, logistics, skills development, innovation, research, housing and investment into integrated economic regions.

And the Durban programme reflects this shift, starting not with discussions about incentives, but with the launch of South Africa's new Industrial Policy – an acknowledgement that industrialisation must once again occupy the centre of economic policy.

Find out why South Africa's Special Economic Zone (SEZ) programme has received a significant vote of confidence from the World Bank.

A new study has noted that the country possesses the infrastructure, legal framework and institutional capacity required to build one of the world's leading SEZ programmes.

Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Parks Tau, said the report affirms the government's long-term industrialisation strategy and provides a roadmap for strengthening the country's network of SEZs.

“The study has found that South Africa has the infrastructure, legal framework and institutional capacity to build a leading Special Economic Zone programme,” Tau said, adding that recommendations would assist the government in refining policy and improving implementation.

South Africa's SEZ programme is one of the government's most important industrial policy tools for attracting investment, expanding manufacturing capacity, creating employment and increasing exports.

And TASEZ is one of the clearest examples of what the World Bank's findings seek to encourage.
