RMB Namibia has sponsored computer equipment for the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) for the launch of the country’s first Bloomberg Finance Lab.
The initiative, in collaboration with MTC and the Namibia Investment and Finance Academy (NIFA), aims to enhance financial education, investment literacy, and market analytics training in Namibia.
The Bloomberg Finance Lab will provide undergraduate and graduate students with access to industry-standard financial tools, including e-learning certification courses such as Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC).
Students enrolled in undergraduate and Master’s programs will also receive training on the Bloomberg Terminal, along with courses on investment, risk, and portfolio management. Additionally, the lab will be open to NUST’s academic community for research purposes.
“This sponsorship reflects our ongoing commitment to strengthening financial market education and investment readiness in Namibia by ensuring students, professionals, and researchers have access to world-class financial tools and insights. It is part of how we are building a globally competitive Namibia,†Ian Erlank, Head of Global Markets at RMB Namibia said.
“We look forward to working closely to shape the next generation of financial professionals and furthering our shared vision for financial excellence.â€
The establishment of the Bloomberg Finance Lab underscores the importance of collaboration between academia, the private sector, and technology leaders in advancing industry-driven education.
