Description: Dube TradePort Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is a world-class development offering globally integrated logistics and manufacturing infrastructure, and support for a range of airport-related activities, including cargo operations, warehousing, agriculture, and commercial real-estate for office, retail and hospitality. The benefits offered to businesses operating within the SEZ are geared towards promoting business growth, revenue generation, employment creation, the export of value-added commodities, and the attraction of both foreign and local investment – all enhancing South Africa’s manufacturing and export capabilities. Owned by the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Government, Dube TradePort is the province’s flagship infrastructural development and key priority, forming part of South Africa’s National Infrastructure Plan. Strategically located on the east coast of South Africa, linked to two of Africa’s major seaports, major national roads and home to King Shaka International Airport, Dube TradePort is strategically positioned at the intersection of local and global intermodal transport routes. This 50-year master-planned airfreight and passenger hub comprises five business zones: • Dube TradeZone: an industrial precinct for electronics, pharmaceutical and aerospace manufacturing; • Dube Cargo Terminal: a state-of-the-art cargo handling facility; • Dube AgriZone: an advanced agricultural precinct; • Dube City: a business and hospitality precinct; and • Dube iConnect: a cutting-edge telecommunications platform and premier cloud service provider. Dube TradePort’s vision is to be the leading global manufacturing and air logistics platform in Southern Africa, seamlessly integrated with intermodal road, rail and port infrastructure.
