Our partnership with the South African Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) enables us to foster a conducive environment for trade and investment between South Africa and the USA.
We work in close association with DTI to provide feedback, lobby for reforms, and advocate for policies that are favourable to South African businesses in the international market. This mutual collaboration allows us to influence decisions that enhance South Africa’s global trade competitiveness.
