The Economic Association of Namibia (EAN), the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) and the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF), in strategic partnership with the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR), convene key role-players from Namibia’s oil and gas ecosystem, alongside civil society and the general public, to exchange views on the potential, opportunities and risks associated with establishing an oil and gas industry in the country.
The conference addresses a broad range of issues, including investment opportunities, legal and regulatory requirements, value chains, financing and job creation in the emerging oil and gas sector.
It places a strong emphasis on developing ideas and strategies that ensure investments do not result in isolated production enclaves, but instead support the growth of an integrated industrial base with strong backward and forward linkages to the wider economy—creating sustainable jobs and contributing to the social welfare of Namibia’s people.
