Growth Gateway: Mpumalanga economic landscape

This report, developed by Boston Consulting Group for the UK Growth Gateway programme, provides a baseline assessment of Mpumalanga’s economic landscape and identifies opportunity spaces aligned with South Africa’s Just Energy Transition (JET).

It highlights the province’s reliance on coal-linked industries and outlines pathways for diversification into green sectors such as renewable energy, green hydrogen, and climate-smart agriculture, as well as non-green opportunities in tourism and agro-processing.

Designed for policymakers, development partners, and investors, the report offers actionable insights to support small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) in pivoting to new markets and scaling operations in high-potential sectors.
