MTC has backed the 9th ICT Summit with a N$110,000 sponsorship as Namibia intensifies efforts to expand digital transformation and technology-driven economic growth.
The summit, which will be hosted in the Oshana Region, is expected to bring together policymakers, technology companies, entrepreneurs and innovators to discuss the future of the country’s ICT sector.
This year’s event will run under the theme: Harnessing ICT for Inclusive Growth, Digital Pathways to Reduce Unemployment and Eradicate Poverty.
MTC Corporate Communications Practitioner Erasmus Nekundi said supporting ICT-focused initiatives remains important for promoting innovation, digital inclusion and knowledge sharing in Namibia.
“As a player in the industry, it is crucial for us to invest in initiatives that promote innovation, digital inclusion, and knowledge sharing within the ICT sector. Supporting platforms such as the ICT Summit aligns with MTC’s broader vision of empowering communities through technology and contributing to Namibia’s digital economy agenda,” Nekundi said.
He said the telecommunications operator would continue supporting partnerships and engagements aimed at advancing innovation and technological development in the country.
“As Namibia continues to embrace digital transformation, MTC remains steadfast in championing initiatives that foster innovation, skills development, and sustainable technological growth. Our support for the ICT Summit, therefore, demonstrates our ongoing dedication to shaping a digitally empowered future for Namibia,” he said.
The ICT Summit has become one of Namibia’s key technology industry platforms, focusing on issues including digital infrastructure, innovation, entrepreneurship, skills development and economic inclusion through technology.
