Conference Venues in the Gauteng Province of South Africa

Jan 142013

As the economic powerhouse of South Africa, accounting for a third of the country’s gross domestic product, Gauteng is home to many of the country’s premier conference venues. Gauteng contributes heavily in the financial, manufacturing, transport, technology and telecommunications sectors, amongst others. It also plays host to a large number of overseas companies requiring a commercial base in Africa. Although Gauteng is the smallest of South Africa’s nine provinces (it covers only 1.4% of the country’s total land area) it contributes over a third of its gross domestic product. Indeed Gauteng generates up to 10% of the GDP of the entire African continent.

Gauteng is home to many of the country’s most prestigious educational institutions and scientific institutes. There are about 10 000 firms involved in the province’s manufacturing sector, employing over half a million people. The principal industries are appliances and electrical supplies, basic iron and steel, chemical products, electrical machinery, fabricated and metal products, food, machinery, motor vehicle parts and accessories. Gauteng’s economy is moving away from heavy industry to high value-added production, such as information technology, telecommunications and other high-tech industries.

Seen as the new commercial hub of South Africa, Sandton has become Gauteng’s leading business centre. Over just the last 15 years, much of the financial focus has shifted from the Johannesburg central business district to Sandton. Johannesburg’s stock exchange relocated its offices to Sandton from the Central Business District in the late 1990s.
