The Namibian pavilion aims to display its natural treasures to the world such as its suitable climate for

renewable energy, unique landscapes and abundant wildlife, marine diamonds and minerals, as well as our diverse cultural heritage.

Five sub-sectors will be promoted during the expo: Renewable Energy, Mining, Tourism (culture), Education (eLearning and innovation), as well as Trade and Investment (Manufacturing, Blue Economy, Health, Logistics and Agriculture).
