The Mpumalanga Economic Growth Agency was formed in terms of the MEGA Act (Act No. 4 of 2005) through a merger of the Mpumalanga Economic Empowerment Corporation and Mpumalanga Investment Initiative.

If Mpumalanga is the Place of the Rising Sun, MEGA is the agency tasked with providing the far-reaching horizon, the backdrop that is needed for the sun to rise. The Mpumalanga Economic Growth Agency (MEGA) is an official development finance institution and the trade and investment promotion arm of the Provincial Government of Mpumalanga, dedicated to positioning the province as an investment destination of choice and a regional trade hub. As such, its central objective is to leverage trade and investment, provide funding for SMMEs and cooperatives, and deliver housing finance, so as to foster the growth and development of Mpumalanga’s economy. Mpumalanga offers a strategic location in the world market and in the South African economy, together with modern infrastructure and cutting-edge technology. MEGA’s Property Development and Management Programme is geared to build and maintain a property portfolio that can a) generate income, b) help to achieve organisational sustainability and c) facilitate employment creation. The Agency's objectives are fostering the sustainable growth and development of the Mpumalanga economy by attracting investment to the province; facilitating investment in the province; and maximising the development impact of investment in the province.
