Invest and Trade in Kinshasa.

Kinshasa is the most important consumer centre of the republic and the core of its industrial and commercial activity. The city serves as the headquarters of major public corporations and of privately owned industrial and commercial companies. It dominates the financial and commercial life of the republic and houses the head offices of the principal banks. Among Kinshasa’s main industries are food processing and those producing consumer goods (e.g., beer, textiles, and footwear), generally for domestic markets. Construction and various service industries also contribute to the city’s economy. However, the political turmoil that has gripped the country since the downfall of the Zairean regime in 1997 has been debilitating for the city’s economic activities.

Invest and Trade in Johannesburg.

The City of Johannesburg is aiming to establish itself as the Entrepreneurial City of the Future. With unemployment currently at 27.7% and youth unemployment at 38.6%, the City needs concrete solutions to these pressing issues. Entrepreneurs and small businesses are the backbone of any economy, and require useful support if they are to succeed. The Opportunity Centres (OCs) are our solution to providing this support. OCs are places where members of the community, especially emerging small businesses across all sectors, can walk in for assistance and advice on entrepreneurship and business support issues. The purpose of the OCs is to create an environment where entrepreneurs and small businesses can thrive through the support of public-private partnerships. Soon all Opportunity Centres will host an Opportunity Seekers Database where job seekers can submit their CVs. Government and the private sector will be able to access the database to link registered job seekers to work opportunities.

Invest and Trade in Lubumbashi.

Lubumbashi, formerly (until 1966) Élisabethville, second largest city in Democratic Republic of the Congo. The main industrial centre of the mining district of southeastern Congo, it lies 110 miles (180 km) northwest of Ndola, Zambia. The town was established by Belgian colonists in 1910 as a copper-mining settlement and was designated an urban district in 1942. Most regional mining companies are headquartered in Lubumbashi, which is the transportation centre for mineral products (copper, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, germanium, tin, manganese, and coal) from the towns of Likasi, Kolwezi, Kipushi, and others. Mineral exploitation has been dominated by a government-owned organization, but foreign mining companies are also in evidence. The city’s other industries include printing, brewing, flour milling, and the production of confectionery, cigarettes, brick, and soap. Lubumbashi has a civic auditorium, a national museum, a Roman Catholic cathedral, and the Society of Congo Historians, as well as the University of Lubumbashi (1955).
