Eenhana Expo kicks off
The 2017 Eenhana Trade and Business Expo started on Monday with 230 local and foreign exhibitors showcasing their products and services.
The expo, now in its 10th year, is being hosted at the newly-built Eenhana Convention City for the first time.
Previously, the popular event was held at the Eenhana Multi-Purpose Youth Centre.
The council's spokesperson, Paullo Shilongo, told Nampa that the new venue had improved exhibition facilities providing ample space for exhibitors, activities and visitors.
He said foreign entrepreneurs participating this year included three exhibitors from Tanzania, one from Zimbabwe and three from Kenya.
Shilongo called on people of the Ohangwena Region and elsewhere to visit the expo, which is aimed at business networking, establishing partnerships and information sharing.
He added that the incorporation of the Kapuka Annual Sport Tournament into the expo and the establishment of the Convention City made the show special this year.
The Kapuka Annual Sport Tournament, the Ohangwena Region-based sporting event hosted every year mostly for schools in far northern Namibia, used to be held at Helao Nafidi.
The main sponsor of the Expo is Nicodemus Holdings, with a contribution of N$120 000.
The event, hosted under the theme 'A Decade of Entrepreneurship and Exhibition Excellence', ends on Saturday.
