Profile With over 155 years of rich heritage, as the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber we remain one of the most trusted, respected and authoritative voices on matters relating to local business and the economy. The environment we operate in is dramatically changing and demands of us to adapt to the ever-changing landscape, and become an agile organisation that responds robustly to issues that impact upon the sustainability of local businesses, the functionality of the operating environment and also leveraging economic growth opportunities. For this reason, we have taken a bold step to become a much more activist and action-orientated Chamber. Through our lobbying, advocacy and influencing strategies are driving for an environment in which business can operate to help create a conducive environment for businesses and attract investments. Equally important, our members are our reason for existence and as such, we are committed to providing value-adding services. Our vision is to be a leading catalyst for Nelson Mandela Bay to retain and attract business. This is supported by our mission, of collaborating with key stakeholders to develop solutions which foster an enabling environment and promote sustainable economic development. In our pursuit of this vision, we are guided by the following values: integrity, accountability, inclusivity, to be action-oriented with a key focus on teamwork. 

Our mission is to collaborate with key stakeholders to develop solutions, which foster an enabling environment and promote sustainable economic developments through various Chamber action arms such as: 

• SMME and Entrepreneurship Committee 

• Trade and Investment Committee 

• Team Teams Committees (Electricity, Safety and Security, Transport and Logistics) 

• Business Clusters Additionally, we provide an array of value-adding services to local businesses in the form of business-to-business networking opportunities, enterprise and exporter development programmes, informative publications, as well as workshops and seminars to name but a few.
