Accelerate Cape Town is a business-led initiative aimed at bringing together stakeholders in the Cape Town region to develop and implement a long-term vision for sustainable, inclusive economic growth. The organisation was started by a group of business leaders brought together by a common concern over the lack of pace and direction of change in the Cape. They agreed that a common long-term vision and future strategy were needed for the region, and that “big business” should play a leading role in developing and implementing them.
We seek to mobilise the combined expertise, influence and enthusiasm of our members to drive delivery of a long term socio-economic growth agenda for the Cape region.
Through our different projects we aim to: • Accelerate economic growth in the city and region • Promote the city and region as a prime locality for investment • Effectively represent the views of big business • Establish a vibrant network of leaders in business, government, education and other stakeholders • Set up and maintain constructive partnerships.
