Reasons to invest
Cape Town is ranked in the top 30 cities at the forefront of global
tech (released in February 2019 by Saville consulting).
There is a
distinct and established culture of tech innovation and entrepreneurship
in the city, so it’s little wonder half of emerging tech companies in
South Africa are based in the Western Cape. One need only look at a few
of the tech success stories to see how this sector is flourishing: Yoco
(Fintech), Aerobotics (Artificial intelligence), SweepSouth (Digital
services), Yuppiechef (ecommerce), Recomed (Health & Biotech) and
Dataprophet (Artificial Intelligence).
