International platform for local ESMEs
Exploring international trade opportunities
At the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) at the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) in Cote d’Ivoire this November, twelve Namibian micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have the opportunity to showcase their products.
The selection of MSMEs came after coming out on top at the 2023Technovation Social that took place in Windhoek last Friday and was hosted by the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB).
The 2023 TechNovation Social is a biannual event intended to support and draw inspiration from Namibia’s Culture and Creative Industry (CCI) to unlock enterprise opportunities for MSMEs.
According to the NIPDB, the CCI in Namibia continues to be relatively under-supported and under-recognised. This was particularly apparent during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic when many MSMEs within the industry found themselves without an income. This sector offers some of the most dynamic business and career opportunities worldwide. In other countries, the pandemic underscored the importance of the CCI as a catalyst for the creation of new platforms, infrastructure and facilities, capturing the attention of the world.
The NIPDB believes that an empowered CCI can carry the Namibia brand to the world through its timeless creations.
