PHARMA GIANT INVESTS R700M: ROCHE BUILDS NEW LABORATORY IN BRACKENFELL
Boost for business DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
O
ne of the world’s largest pharmaceutical and biotech companies, Roche will open its doors in Brackenfell this
year. James Vos, the City of Cape Town’ Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management announced that the compa-
ny has entered into a long-term lease in the Brackengate 2 Business Park and last week began construction on their new diagnostics office. He attended the official sod turning ceremony at the site on 16 February. Roche will invest an estimated R700 million and within the next three years, plans to employ 300 people. The new office includes a laboratory, biotech production capacity and workspace. To grow the local
economy and create jobs, the City’s economic growth portfolio is continuously working to attract new investment, said Vos in a telephonic interview. “With my team, and based on market intelligence, we are in regular contact with international companies and trade delegations, seeking foreign investment,” he said. Despite the poor economic outlook in the country, Vos makes a good pitch to sell Cape
Town as a sound investment choice. Many building blocks come into play. “Our strategy includes incentive schemes that consists of benefits such as fast tracking municipal services, the application of the necessary permits and cutting through red tape. In addition, we assist with identifying the land. We give them a smooth landing, so to speak.” V To page 2
