The Development Bank of Namibia (DBN) is set to host the Good Business and Innovation Awards 2025 in Windhoek on Monday.
Under the theme ‘Celebrating Innovation and Impact’, this year’s awards aim to honour trailblazing enterprises and forward-thinking leaders who are driving positive change in Namibia’s socio-economic landscape.
DBN communications manager Jerome Mutumba says the ceremony is expected to attract a distinguished audience comprising members of the business community, senior executives, industry thought leaders, and high-ranking dignitaries from both the public and private sectors.
“Vice president Lucia Witbooi will deliver the keynote address, underscoring the government’s commitment to supporting enterprise-led development and transformative innovation in Namibia,” he says.
Mutumba further says the awards will recognise excellence across three categories, with N$150 000 awarded to the small and medium enterprise winner, N$250 000 to the large enterprise winner, and N$400 000 to the innovation award recipient.
“These awards represent more than just recognition; they reflect our commitment to unlocking enterprise potential and accelerating inclusive development. We look forward to highlighting the efforts of enterprises and innovators who are not only redefining possibility but also making a tangible impact on Namibia’s socio-economic progress,” says Mutumba.
“With this year’s theme, DBN continues to place the spotlight on innovation as a cornerstone of economic resilience and social impact”.
