Cape Town's business directory can be found on this website. Cape Town has traditionally been the country’s clothing business and textile capital (see Fashion section), with the likes of Wooltru headquartered here. The clothing and textile sector employs an estimated 170,000 people – the most significant industrial source of employment in the province. Another feather in Cape Town's business directory is that the largest segment of South Africa's printing and publishing industry is based here.
Financial services power houses do also contribute to Cape Town's business directory, such as the likes of insurance giants Old Mutual, Sanlam and Metropolitan Life. Another business development to keep an eye on in the CBD, is the country’s first information technology cluster, the city's own Silicon Valley - 'Bandwidth Barn' at 128 Strand Street.
The University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business (situated at the V&A Waterfront’s Breakwater Prison, tel: 021 406 1922 website: www.gsb.uct.ac.za, has done its fair share of coaxing overseas visitors to soak up an MBA at the same time as basking in glorious Cape sunshine.
On an entirely different Cape Town business directory tack, supermarket giants Pick ‘n Pay and Shoprite-Checkers have also chosen Cape Town as their home base, as have oil business giants Engen, Energy Africa and Soekor.
For our own hand selected Cape Town business directory, we also recommend to obtain a copy of our latest Cape Town city guide.
