President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to chair South Africa’s 6th Investment Conference on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, Gauteng.
Ramaphosa has chaired five Investment Conferences, since 2018, with commitments of about R1.5 trillion.
The Presidency said in alerts, more than R628 billion is already on the ground – in factories, mines and industrial facilities across all nine provinces.
About 317 projects were announced and 161 are already complete or are under construction.
This is despite economic challenges posed by a pandemic and interruptions in energy supply.
Commitments grew from a target of R1.2 trillion to R1.5 trillion.
New plans are to mobilise investors towards an additional R2 trillion target in investment commitments over the next 5 years.
Conference organisers said it emerged at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2026, that South Africa is a primary destination for green investment.
“From renewable energy to large-scale infrastructure, we are building the partnerships necessary to drive a Just Transition and create jobs for our youth.”
