Expo will showcase the
full construction cycle over eight dedicated sector zones including building
interiors & finishes, construction tools & building materials,
mechanical, electrical and plumbing plant machinery & vehicles, smart construction,
concrete, windows, doors & facades, pumps, valves & pipes.

attend the Stakeholder Engagement Forum on 12 September where, among others,
MEC Tertius Simmers the Minister of the Department of Human Settlements of the
Western Cape Government and Mr. Jeremy Wiley the Past President of Cape Chamber
of Commerce and Industry will discuss inner city transformation, provincial
investment, development opportunities and overcoming challenges to build the
Western Cape together.

Driving Growth in the Western Cape’s marine,
offshore, maritime and oil & gas industries

The recent ‘Brulpadda’ discovery by Total of possibly 1
billion barrels of ‘wet’ gas off the coast of the Western Cape is recognised as
a ‘game changer’ for South Africa and the Western Cape. Niall Kramer, Chief
Executive Officer of the South African Oil and Gas Alliance says: “It is
important for us as an industry to understand what Brulpadda has catalysed in
terms of the value chain and what we need to do to be ready to participate
fully.”

This and more will be discussed at the Stakeholder
Engagement Forum of the 6^th Cape
Industries Showcase on 11 September among key stakeholders
including Mr Sobantu Tilayi the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the South
African Maritime Safety Authority, Mr Bongani Sayidini the Acting Group Chief
Executive Officer of PetroSA and more.

The
6^th Cape Industries Showcase is an industry platform and services
expo dedicated exclusively to services and equipment for the Western Cape’s
booming marine, offshore, maritime and oil & gas industries.
