Finnish companies such as Wärtsilä expressed their keen interest in Namibia’s energy sector. Growing opportunities in green transition and circular economy are set to bring Namibian and Finnish businesses together.
A ‘Doing Business with Finland’ seminar, is being organised in this regard by the Embassy of Finland and the Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI) and is scheduled to take place in Windhoek on 21 February. The event brings together companies and other relevant stakeholders from Finland and Namibia to network and provide opportunities to create joint business ventures. The focus sectors are circular economy, renewable energy, and a green transition, including related education and training solutions. The aim of the seminar is to create cooperation and handholding in areas contributing to climate change mitigation, hence the focus sectors.
Finland is a high-tech country that aims to be a world leader in green hydrogen and circular economies, emission-free energy systems, and other climate and environmental solutions. Finland also seeks to improve energy efficiency and accelerate the transition to fossil-free transport and heating. The event will provide an excellent opportunity for Finnish and Namibian companies to explore possibilities for cooperation and joint ventures in these areas. The global challenges require strong collaboration between nations and businesses. Finland and Namibia already have a long history of friendship. This provides a solid base for Finnish-Namibian business cooperation related to green transition and circular economy. We want to support this development, stated Leena Viljanen, Finnish Ambassador to Namibia.
The Namibian business environment draws strength from a young population, abundant natural resources, social stability, and well-functioning infrastructure. Namibia´s ambitious plans to become a leading actor in global green hydrogen production, as well as in the circular economy in Africa will require investments, information sharing, and improved processes. For the Namibian stakeholders, the seminar will provide an opportunity to expand their business and to find international partners,” said NCCI Chief Executive Officer Charity Mwiya.
