Invest Now

More than 20 years ago, "Divest Now!" was rallying cry on college campuses as activists implored companies to shed ties with South Africa. The Rendell administration has announced it is organizing a trade mission to the post-apartheid nation Feb. 18-22 to encourage Pennsylvania companies to establish contacts to boost exports. As of Sept. 30, Pennsylvania was the seventh-largest U.S. exporting state to South Africa. Keystone State firms exported more than $180 million of products to South Africa in 2006.
