Rooted on our strategic priorities of Leading a world class port city and investment destination, Empowering small businesses and Growing our membership engagement and value, the Business Intelligence Hub seeks to effectively and efficiently promote trade and investment in Nelson Mandela Bay, and to develop initiatives targeted at developing a cohort of sustainable and growing small businesses.
The Business Intelligence Hub is twofold; firstly it offers Trade and Investment interventions dedicated at attracting both new and retaining existing business in Nelson Mandela Bay. To achieve this mandate, the Chamber has established the Investor’s forum – a platform where decision makers and captains of industry largely from national and multinational companies in NMB meet on quarterly basis to discuss and review the concerns of investors, which in turn provides direction to the Chamber’s enabling environment interventions and key projects. Furthermore, the Chamber gathers business intelligence (data and information) on economic conditions of NMB and its related sectors, opportunities and threats designed to inform and assist member companies and investors on their decision making processes. Businesses can use this crucial information to gain insightful understanding from both historical and present-day data. The intelligence further provides direction to the Chamber on our various lobbying interventions to ensure we proactively respond to the ever-changing business environment and conditions.
The Business Intelligence Hub further offers strategic and key Entrepreneurship Service interventions. These include the following:
