The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business is scheduled to host the fifth Canada-Africa Business Conference in Windhoek on 5 February. 

The conference is expected to focus on mining, energy, infrastructure, and  sustainable development and will feature participation from investors, senior executives, policymakers, and institutional partners from across Africa and Canada. The conference is set to include sector-specific discussions, senior-level panels, and private roundtables. 

The aim is to accelerate investment, support the responsible development of projects, and, in particular, strengthen collaboration between Namibian businesses and international partners.

Namibia’s growing strategic importance in global mining was cited by MineAfrica Inc. co-founder and president Wayne Floreani, who will attend the conference. He also pointed to opportunities beyond mining, created by mining’s role as an economic catalyst.“Namibia has built a strong reputation as a jurisdiction where mining investment can be undertaken responsibly, transparently, and in partnership with government and communities,” explained country manager of B2Gold Namibia John Roos. 

“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.

Namibia already enjoys a reputation for long-term policy stability, sound governance, and regulatory certainty. By hosting this conference, the Canada-Africa Chamber of Business affirms that the country is strengthening its position as a regional hub for both responsible investment and international business dialogue. 

The event, which is expected to be broadcast live, will also strengthen commercial ties between Namibia and the Canadian private sector.
