The Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) yesterday announced that Swakopmund has been selected to host this year's Know2Grow NextGeneration entrepreneur showcase.

Several stakeholders gathered to witness the occasion at the MTC Dome in the coastal town.

The showcase is set to be held from 2 to 4 November under the theme 'sustaining communities, unlocking growth and promoting inclusivity'.

NIPDB's executive director of MSME development, innovation and acceleration, Dino Balloti, said this will be the second edition of the youth-focused initiative, showcasing of the very best young entrepreneurs in country.

“Last year, we launched this exciting initiative in the garden town of Tsumeb, under the theme 'scaling through innovation, value addition and cooperatives'. The 2022 showcase brought together 60 majority youth-owned [micro, small and medium-sized enterprises] from a number of sectors."

Meanwhile, in his keynote address, Erongo Region governor Neville Andre IItope, said the event serves as testament to a collective commitment to nurturing entrepreneurship and providing opportunities for the next generation of visionaries and trailblazers.
