Namibia will host the fifth Canada-Africa Business Conference on 5 February in Windhoek.
The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business convenes the event, positioning Namibia at the forefront of trade and investment engagement between Canada and Africa.
The conference will bring together senior executives, investors, policymakers, and institutional partners from Namibia, Canada, and across Africa.
Discussions will focus on mining, energy, infrastructure, and sustainable economic development.
Namibia’s stable regulatory environment and long-term policy approach have helped attract growing international interest and partnerships.
The programme includes senior-level panels, sector discussions, and private roundtables aimed at boosting investment, supporting responsible project development, and strengthening cooperation between Namibian businesses and international partners.
“Namibia has built a strong reputation as a jurisdiction where mining investment can be undertaken responsibly, transparently, and in partnership with government and communities,” said John Roos, country manager of B2Gold Namibia.
“The Canada-Africa Business Conference provides a valuable platform for practical dialogue between operators, investors, and policymakers, helping to advance projects that contribute to long-term national development, which we are pleased to support,” he added.
Canadian business leaders attending include Wayne Floreani, co-founder and president of MineAfrica Inc., who highlighted Namibia’s role in the global mining sector and opportunities beyond mining linked to the industry’s wider impact.
“I’m looking forward to participating in the conference in Namibia because it represents one of Africa’s most compelling investment destinations for the mining sector,” said Floreani. “We have had the pleasure of showcasing Namibia during PDAC in Toronto each year along with Canadian miners active in the country, including B2Gold, Koryx Copper, Northern Graphite and Namibia Critical Metals. I look forward to welcoming Canadian companies who wish to join the conference as our guests by contacting the Chamber or me directly.”
