The Coega Development Corporation is headquartered in the City of Gqeberha, Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, South Africa, with a strategic operational footprint in South Africa and beyond the borders on the African continent.
Coega’s vision is to be the leading catalyst for the championing of socioeconomic development. This it seeks to achieve through the development and operation of the 9,003-hectare Coega Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a transshipment hub and a leading investment destination in Africa, providing highly skilled competence and capacity for the execution of complex infrastructure and related projects throughout South Africa and selected markets on the African continent, and advisory on the development of industrialisation and logistics zones. Coega’s advanced capabilities are successful enablers in sustainable economic zone development and management, real assets management, infrastructure planning and development, and technology integration while realising related socioeconomic impact areas such as skills and SMME development.
Coega’s high-performance ethos is grounded in its commitment to sustainable development, the protection of its people and the planet, and the delivery of infrastructure solutions that support a just social and economic transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient and climate-resilient future. The foundational culture of Coega’s approach, backed by its core values, is innovation and continuous improvement.
