DOING BUSINESS IN NAMIBIA JUST GOT EASIER
LEADING THE WAY
The NIPDB commenced operations in January 2021, taking over the functions of our predecessor, the Namibia Investment Centre, to become the lead investment agency for Namibia.
The NIPDB was established to support the government efforts to amongst others drive Namibia’s diversification strategy and inclusive private sector led economic growth, through leveraging investments by local and foreign nationals as well as coordinating MSME activities across all the levers of the economy, with the aim of contributing to economic development and job creation
As Namibia’s lead investment promotion agency, the NIPDB serves as the first point of call for potential investors wanting to do business in Namibia.
