The winners will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to attend the 2024 Harambeans Global Summit in Kenya, an exclusive event that brings together key figures in African entrepreneurship, offering a unique platform for networking, learning, and partnership building.

“The partnership with the Harambe Entrepreneur Alliance highlights our commitment to fostering innovation and supporting the growth of Namibian businesses. We are thrilled to be sending two of our promising entrepreneurs to attend this life-changing event,” FNB Namibia CEO Commercial Sepo Haihambo said.

Iiyambo and Shaanika were selected through the Harambeans Lab after they completed the Harambeans FNB Namibia Course, where they demonstrated outstanding qualities aligned with leadership, deliberate audacity, and enduring optimism.

FNB Namibia’s investment in the initiative extends beyond financial support to include knowledge transfer and skill development, and the winners, along with other FNB Namibia customers, will gain access to deep entrepreneurial insights through Harambean Knowledge Transfer Sessions.

“We are excited about the impact this opportunity will have on Vera and Linda’s entrepreneurial journey and look forward to further contributing to Namibia’s competitiveness on the global stage. This achievement underscores FNB Namibia’s commitment to empowering local companies and building a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem,” Haihambo said.

FNB Namibia has invested N$3.03 million in the Harambean entrepreneurship program, which aims to promote innovation, mentorship, and help build a competitive Namibia, particularly for MSMEs in the country.
