Limpopo Investment Conference created 23 000 jobs over 5 years: Will the 2026 edition deliver more?
Limpopo Premier Phophi Ramathuba noted pledges mean nothing without actual investments.
The Limpopo Investment Conference has delivered on its promises, creating over 23,000 jobs for residents in five years, according to Premier Phophi Ramathuba. The provincial government has attracted more than R450 billion in investment commitments since the inaugural conference in 2021, with a record R170 billion pledged at the 2025 event.
Ramathuba emphasized that these commitments translate into jobs, production, exports and prosperity, but stressed the importance of turning pledges into actual economic outcomes. The 2026 edition of the conference will focus on accelerating the conversion of these commitments into bankable projects, construction, production, jobs, and sustainable economic activity, with the event set to take place on 15 October 2026 at The Ranch in Polokwane.
