Over half of these jobs are filled by unskilled labour, while 30% are skilled or formally trained. Notably, half of the surveyed companies operate nationally, with 30% headquartered in Cape Town.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Through the BR&amp;E programme, the City works directly with firms to identify challenges such as infrastructure bottlenecks, regulatory delays, and energy concerns, then provides solutions. Interventions include:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Energy security: More than 400 companies have already benefited from the City\u2019s load curtailment programme.<\/li>\n<li>Infrastructure upgrades: From modernising truck embayments in Epping to facilitating land access for businesses along rail sidings.<\/li>\n<li>Investment facilitation: In Airport Industria, approvals paved the way for a R1 billion Truworths expansion.<\/li>\n<li>Local support: In Atlantis, businesses were linked to the City\u2019s Jobs Connect programme, while in Blackheath, road safety and traffic flow upgrades are being pursued.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This approach ensures we remain responsive to business needs while building long-term stability. By retaining and growing local industries, we strengthen Cape Town\u2019s position as a globally competitive, investment-friendly city. For every successful business we support, there are more opportunities for Capetonians to access meaningful work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-opt-id=1779982691  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlourzeiexfv.i.optimole.com\/cb:0E_F.e2b\/w:1024\/h:580\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.investcapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-23-at-17.56.41.jpeg\"  decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14158 size-large\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20580%22%20width%3D%221024%22%20height%3D%22580%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%221024%22%20height%3D%22580%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Alderman James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth, addresses the audience at the BR&amp;E programme launch\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlourzeiexfv.i.optimole.com\/cb:0E_F.e2b\/w:1024\/h:580\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.investcapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-23-at-17.56.41.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mlourzeiexfv.i.optimole.com\/cb:0E_F.e2b\/w:300\/h:170\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.investcapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-23-at-17.56.41.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mlourzeiexfv.i.optimole.com\/cb:0E_F.e2b\/w:768\/h:435\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.investcapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-23-at-17.56.41.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mlourzeiexfv.i.optimole.com\/cb:0E_F.e2b\/w:1245\/h:705\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.investcapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-23-at-17.56.41.jpeg 1245w\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This programme has already delivered tangible benefits, from cost savings and faster access to infrastructure, to more resilient industrial ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This is just the start.
