amibia’s celebration of its 30th year of independence on 21 March was a cause for another celebration – the 30th anniversary of the Namibia Trade Network.
Namibia’s independence created numerous opportunities for local and international investments in the country, and Venture Publications Founder (as it was then known), Paul van Schalkwyk, identified the need for an authoritative publication that would provide up-todate information on the various sectors of the country’s economy.

It is also in a partnership with the Namibia Investment Board (previously the Namibia Investment Centre) and it is an associate member of the Namibian Manufacturers Association which represents the country’s manufacturing industry.
