Cape Town is the continent’s start-up capital, says Wesgro, the official tourism, trade and investment agency for Cape Town and the Western Cape.
From across the globe, start-ups choose Cape Town for various reasons: lifestyle, community, access to funding, a culture of creativity, and available talent. The latter is due to many top tertiary institutions in the area.
Additionally, investors are drawn to the city, thanks to the range of quality start-ups, tax incentives and access to the rest of Africa.
