This area captures an interesting mix of everything you will find in a big city as well as a small coastal vacation destination. This region has its own wine route, known as the Helderberg Wine Route, which incorporates more than 20 estates.
The Chamber's supports local area with development by providing support for:
1. Enterprise development - increasing awareness of opportunities for learning, development and links to expertise.

The City has produced a number of publications that focus on the industrial areas in Cape Town. The publications cover 26 industrial areas in the city and highlight key facts and figures on the locations, economic activity trends, business’ economic activity, as well as vacant land and buildings.
The Helderberg is a great destination in its own right, with great beaches and a village atmosphere wherever you go, and it is the perfect base from which to explore all of nearby Cape Town’s splendors.
This chapter has an active business hub, developing industrial areas as well as a fair amount of well-established businesses and it consists of the following areas:
Elgin, Gordons Bay, Grabouw, Firgrove, Macassar, Sir Lowry's Pass, Somerset West, Strand, Blackheath, Eersterivier, and Kuilsriver.
We host monthly business events to create a platform for businesses to connect and make valuable contributions.
