One of the roles of the Consulate General in Cape Town is to promote economic and commercial relations between the Netherlands and the Cape provinces in South Africa. To this effect, the Consulate organises network events, round the table-discussions and informative meetings on relevant economic issues, and assists the public with trade queries.

On these pages you will find trade information on the three Cape provinces and the Netherlands, as well as information on importing from and exporting to the Netherlands and South Africa. Our incentives pages provide you with an overview of available incentives in South Africa, the Netherlands and the EU, and the business opportunities page explores chances for Dutch companies in so-called favourable sectors. Here, you will also find information on business and the 2010 World Cup.
