Oshakati, July 21 — Oshana region commenced the eagerly awaited ‘Oshana Investment Conference’ today, scheduled to be held from 23rd to 24th August this year. Geared towards attracting investors to the region, this conference aims to unlock the full potential of regional investments. The event was inaugurated by the Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Peya Mushelenga.
In his opening statement, Mushelenga emphasized that investment conferences offer an excellent platform for governments, be it central, regional, or local, to interact and exchange information on existing and potential business opportunities with investors.
It is an undeniable fact that regional economic planners and stakeholders play a crucial role in shaping national economies, particularly in the ever-globalized world. They have a responsibility to stimulate business activities within their regions, thereby fostering growth in per capita income, generating more employment opportunities, and ultimately alleviating poverty. One effective approach to achieve these objectives is through hosting investment conferences, as asserted by Mushelenga.
Elia Irimari, the Governor of the Oshana region, highlighted the primary objectives of the Oshana Investment Conference in his address. The conference aspires to create an enabling environment that fosters investment opportunities, fuels economic growth, and enhances the quality of life for the region’s residents. Oshana offers immense potential across various sectors, including agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, and technology, and this platform will serve as an avenue for potential investors to explore these opportunities.
“We firmly believe that attracting investments will lead to job creation, improved infrastructure, and better overall well-being for our people. Together, we can transform Oshana into a thriving economic hub, contributing significantly to the growth of our nation as a whole,” said Irimari.
With the launch of the Oshana Investment Conference, the region is taking a proactive step towards driving economic progress and development. As investors from various industries converge to explore the possibilities, there is optimistic anticipation that this event will prove to be a milestone in Oshana’s journey towards prosperity. The conference promises to open doors for collaboration and innovation, fostering a brighter future for both the region and the nation.-Namibia Daily News
