About Gauteng and GGDA

Gauteng generates the largest share of South Africa's economic activity and serves as a strategic gateway to African markets. The province is home to South Africa's financial centre, major industrial hubs, and key transport and logistics infrastructure, making it an attractive destination for both local and international investment. With a diverse economy, strong consumer market, and connectivity to regional and global value chains, Gauteng offers significant opportunities for companies seeking to establish, expand, or scale their operations across Southern Africa and beyond.

 

The Gauteng Growth and Development Agency (GGDA) is the provincial government's lead agency responsible for promoting investment, trade, economic development, and tourism. Through investor facilitation services, and support for business expansion, the GGDA works to attract and retain investment while helping companies navigate opportunities, incentives, and project pipelines within the province.
