Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah recently engaged with nearly 30 leading international corporations at a Roundtable Business Breakfast Meeting, organized by the Business Council for International Understanding in partnership with the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board. The event provided a platform for the President to outline Namibia’s development agenda, which prioritizes human-centered growth and a mixed economy that leverages contributions from both public and private sectors.

During her address, President Nandi-Ndaitwah highlighted various investment opportunities in critical sectors such as minerals, oil and gas, renewable and conventional energy, tourism, and education. These opportunities are underpinned by a policy shift aimed at promoting value addition and skills transfer, ultimately reducing unemployment and fostering inclusive growth. The President emphasized the importance of economic transformation that benefits both investors and the local population, ensuring equitable sharing of the country’s resources.

Namibia’s commitment to creating an investment-friendly environment was reiterated by the President, who stressed the need for diversification beyond traditional industries like diamonds. By tapping into emerging sectors, the country aims to secure a sustainable and prosperous future. This approach is expected to contribute to the country’s economic growth and development, while also ensuring that the benefits of investment are shared equitably among all stakeholders.

The Roundtable Business Breakfast Meeting served as a platform for international corporations to engage with the Namibian government and explore potential investment opportunities. The event underscored the country’s efforts to attract foreign investment and promote economic development, while also emphasizing the importance of responsible and sustainable investment practices. As Namibia continues to navigate its economic transformation, the government’s commitment to creating a favorable business environment is likely to remain a key factor in attracting international investment and driving growth.
