SWAITEX registration closing soon
The Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI) has spent the past few months planning for the upcoming Swakopmund International Trade Expo (SWAITEX), taking place from 10 to 13 October 2018 at the Dome, Swakopmund.
The event is the premier fixture on Swakopmund’s events calendar and attracts many visitors and investors to the town and the Erongo Region.
Last year, the event hosted 153 exhibitors, 235 stalls and had more than 13 000 visitors. This year, SWAITEX plans on going even bigger under the theme “Local Economic Growth, Through International Trade”, to emphasise the need for increased international trade.
“SWAITEX provides business owners, based in the Erongo Region, with a rare opportunity to showcase their goods and services to the region and beyond,” says the chairman of the NCCI Swakopmund Branch, Paul Ndjambula.
Conference
This year, as part of the drive to attract foreign direct investment and to market Erongo Region as an attractive investment destination, the NCCI Swakopmund, in partnership with Conference Link and government under the auspices of the Office of the Governor of Erongo Region, will host the Erongo Economic Conference 2018. The theme will be “Local Economic Growth through International Trade”.
This platform aims to highlight investment opportunities to local, regional and international investors in targeted sectors that have the potential to contribute towards economic growth and job creation.
The conference will be hosted simultaneously as SWAITEX to add value to the event and ensure the focus remains on business.
“Through this conference, we intend to create dialogue amongst experts, within and outside the Erongo Region, in order to reflect on the current economic climate and its impact on local business. This platform must stimulate actors in the market to examine and identify the best approaches to overcome the challenges facing the business community,” Ndjambula says.
The closing date for SWAITEX registrations is Friday, 5 October.
