Sectors of Investment
Manufacturing
- Technology- The National Industrial Development Corporation of Eswatini (NIDCS) encourages investments into new industries with an emphasis on invention and innovation. Enterprises must be geared to bring into the market new types of industries or improve existing technology ventures.
- Green Energy Technology is an identifiable current business opportunity – The sugar-producing companies have ventured into energy production through biomass to reduce their electricity costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Now that the country is faced with electricity production challenges, companies plan to produce excess electricity and sell it to the national grid. One sugar company plans to build high-pressure boilers to generate over 100 megawatts. The GCC region’s companies can have an opportunity to partner with these companies to sell renewable energy equipment.
- Large-scale investments are being made in rail infrastructure, and opportunities exist for equipment sales and service contracts in transportation.
