At the Maritime Summit held on Friday 13 November 2015 at the Boardwalk Conference Centre in Port Elizabeth, NMMU Business School Senior Lecturer, Dr Jessica Fraser spoke on the “Opportunities and Roadblocks to a viable Marine Economy in the Eastern Cape”.
An introduction to her talk included this video below – set mainly within the Port of Port Elizabeth and showcasing the Algoa Bay Yacht Club and surrounds:
Some takeaways from Dr Fraser’s presentation:
- “Leaders of yesterday must transfer skills knowledge to the leaders of to-morrow and we need to make sure that here is a to-morrow.”
- “In the Eastern Cape – we hurry up slowly.”
As a recent ‘import’ to Port Elizabeth from Gauteng, Fraser also expressed the same sentiment that all at the summit echoed – The Eastern Cape presents great opportunities and offers special people able to get the job done.
