Direct Industry Support

GreenCape assists green businesses by removing barriers to their establishment and growth. The green economy is new and fast moving and business opportunities may be constrained by issues such as legislation and policy, a lack of credible information, limited market awareness and demand, business finance and skills.

Cluster agencies connect the private and public sector in order to promote green growth. GreenCape engages with national stakeholders to provide input to decision-making that drives the green economy agenda, particularly on a policy level. With stable and secure financial and non-financial support from provincial and national government, we are seen as a key partner to support the achievement of national and provincial green economy goals.
