Namibia Trade Network launches Business Breakfast Club
Captains of industry, partners, clients, and industry friends from across the economy came together to launch the 2023/24 Namibia Trade Network (NTN) directory.Committed to fostering local and foreign trade and investment, this volume focused on the theme of sustainable growth in Namibia.
The NTN was initiated shortly after Namibia’s independence and has the Namibian Ministry of Trade and Industrialisation as its custodian.
Speaking at the launch, Daleen Small, manager of the NTN noted that “the global community is increasingly recognising the imperative of environmentally conscious practices and responsible economic development, and Namibia is well-positioned to align with this. Within the pages of this edition of the Namibia Trade Network, we aim to explore the critical importance of sustainable growth and its transformative potential for the future of our nation.”
In addition to the launch of the 2023/24 NTN, the event marked the launch of the Business Breakfast Club (BBC).
Connections
In launching the BBC, MD of Venture Media, Elzanne McCulloch, noted that “the Namibia Trade Network, with its strong and vested history of more than three decades, has created a network of individuals connected through a shared purpose of promoting and growing Namibian business and enterprise. The BBC hopes to elevate this purpose.”
To mark the launch of the BBC, which will be a platform for insightful networking events, presentations and conversations, a panel discussion under the theme of sustainable growth was hosted by moderator Kirsty Watermeyer during the morning’s lineup.
The panel included insights from Nangula Shejavali, manager for Policy Reform and Partnerships at Namibia's Investment Promotion and Development Board, along with Conrad Dempsey, chief executive at FirstRand Namibia Group, as well as Lisa Figaji the Section Head at the City of Windhoek.
What followed was an insightful conversation that focused on the vital importance of environmentally conscious practices and responsible economic development in Namibia's trade and investment sectors.
