# Western Cape Agriculture, Economic Development and Tourism MEC, Ivan Meyer, says the inaugural Western Cape Investment Summit articulated the core vision of the province’s Growth for Jobs Strategy. Six major investment declarations with a total investment value of 50-billion-rand were made during the summit. In 2024, the provincial economy grew by 0.5 percent, matching the national average. Meyer says the Growth for Jobs Strategy is leading the charge toward a one-trillion-rand economy by 2035:
