Investment mission kicks off in Taiwan
The delegation, representing 18 companies, is on the second leg of the Outward Selling and Investment Mission (OSIM) supported by the Department of Trade and Industry (dti).
The investment mission, which profiles South Africa as an investment destination, kicked off in Thailand on Monday, 28 July.
The delegation arrived in Taipei on Wednesday and will participate in various business-to-business meetings, site visits and trade and investment seminars.
South African Head of Mission in Taiwan, Musawenkosi Aphane, said trading and investment opportunities were plenty in Taiwan.
In welcoming the delegation, Aphane said the minimum availability of natural resources in Taiwan creates an opportunity for most businesses to seek ventures in Taiwan, especially in the co-operation of small businesses, agro-processing and Special Economic Zones.
He also encouraged all sectors to make use of this opportunity and learn from their business counterparts in Taiwan.
Sectors targeted for this OSIM are agro-processing, jewellery and automotive components sectors.
The investment mission concludes on Friday, 1 August.
