01 / About the summit

A place to do the work that follows.

Mafube brings businesses, project owners, funders and public institutions into the same room. The aim is to make opportunities clearer, resolve obstacles to investment and agree on practical next steps.

The summit serves Frankfort, Villiers, Cornelia and Tweeling. It is structured around business retention, expansion, project development and finance.
