How do we work

Read More

Our vision is a thriving, prosperous Africa, mobilised by the green economy.

In ten years the green economy in Western Cape province has grown exponentially across the renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste, water and sustainable agriculture sectors. From 2017, we are driving the adoption of solutions developed in the Western Cape to the rest of the country.

Green Economy Market Support

GreenCape works at the interface between business, government, and academia. Our sector experts specialise in energy, circular economy, water, smart agriculture, alternative service delivery and climate finance. We are in a unique position to collect, create, and disseminate free market intelligence on the green economy, shared through annual flagship market intelligence reports, ad hoc communication with our members, meetings and events.

Municipal Support

GreenCape has supported various municipalities to unlock green economy opportunities through technical expertise, tariff designs, capacity building and business innovation support.

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. GreenCape’s team of sector experts make it their business to fully understand these shifting dynamics so they can provide useful and relevant support to existing and potential green businesses.

National Policy Advisory

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.

Sustainability Insights

We do various projects across the different green economy sectors. These projects range from creating climate finance databases for public funders to provide insights for banks on renewable energy options for their clients.
