The president of the Kenya-Namibia Chamber of Commerce has urged Namibian diplomats and business leaders attending the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi to pursue actionable investment deals and tangible business partnerships from engagements with Kenya and more than 30 African heads of state attending the summit.

Elvis Mboya said Namibia should showcase bankable investment opportunities in green hydrogen, mining, manufacturing and agribusiness to attract investors and strengthen trade ties with Kenya and the rest of Africa.

He also highlighted Kenya’s strengths in agriculture, mobile money, FinTech and innovation, saying Namibia can benchmark and learn from Kenya’s experience in food security and digital financial services.

Namibia and Kenya will hold a dedicated B2B and benchmarking session on 13 May to connect Namibian delegates with Kenyan businesses.
