MIME to Showcase Namibia’s Minerals and Energy Services at Okakarara Trade Fair

MIME to Showcase Namibia’s Minerals and Energy Services at Okakarara Trade Fair. The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MIME) will be a key participant at the Okakarara Trade Fair, running from 1 to 7 September 2025. The Ministry invites visitors to its stand in the Main Hall, where a range of services and resources will be on display.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about services offered under MIME, including mineral rights applications, petroleum licenses, the Solar Revolving Fund credit scheme, MSME support, and liquor licensing procedures. The Ministry’s presence aims to provide practical guidance for entrepreneurs, businesses, and individuals interested in Namibia’s mining, energy, and industrial sectors.

A highlight of the exhibition will be a showcase of Namibia’s diverse minerals, illustrating their significance in everyday life. Visitors can explore how these minerals are applied across industries, from construction and manufacturing to technology and energy. The display is designed to raise awareness of the country’s natural resources and their economic potential, particularly for local enterprises seeking to expand into mining or mineral-based ventures.

MIME officials will be on hand throughout the fair to engage with visitors, answer questions, and provide information on how businesses and entrepreneurs can access the Ministry’s programmes and incentives. This engagement underscores the Ministry’s commitment to supporting industry growth, facilitating investment, and promoting sustainable resource management.

The Okakarara Trade Fair is recognized as one of Namibia’s important platforms for networking, knowledge sharing, and showcasing innovation. MIME’s participation reinforces the Ministry’s role in driving the mining and energy sectors forward while empowering MSMEs and local businesses.
