WHY INVEST
IN NAMIBIA?
Namibia is ranked amongst the world's most politically stable countries, with guaranteed safety, security and rule of law.
Namibia is ambitiously establishing herself as a gateway for industrialisation in Southern Africa, leveraging the strategic location complemented by the world-class port at Walvis Bay, abundant natural resources, and forward-looking policies. With the best road network in Africa, Namibia serves as a logistics hub for road, rail, and sea transportation, connecting neighbouring countries and the Southern African Development Community to the global marketplace.
INVESTOR & MSME
TESTIMONIALS
Koryx Copper
The NIPDB is highly effective in removing constraints facing projects. In the case of Osino Resources, with the NIPDB’s facilitation and intervention, two major issues were resolved, enabling the Twin Hills project to move forward much quicker than otherwise would have the case. This process likely shortened the development timeline by at least a year. Crucially no corners were cut in the process. Foreign investors typically lack high-level government access. The NIPDB acted as a trusted facilitator, and this helped us to overcome challenges we could not have resolved on our own.

NAMIBIA PUBLIC-PRIVATE FORUM
Date: 23-24 October 2025
Description: The Namibia Public-Private Forum (NamPPF) is an institutionalised platform that enables structured, high-level dialogue between the Government of the Republic of Namibia and the private sector. It serves as a mechanism to jointly identify and address policy, regulatory, and operational constraints that hinder private sector growth, and to co-create actionable solutions that advance Namibia’s national development agenda. The Forum strengthens collaboration, builds trust and promotes evidence-based policymaking through inclusive participation across all economic sectors.
