A German five-member business delegation from nine companies visited Namibia this week to explore business opportunities with their local counterparts.Ullrich Kinne from the German embassy said the delegation looked for opportunities in the mining and infrastructure sectors.
It was headed by a senior official from the German economic ministry, Gisela Will and facilitated by the Southern African-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The companies were K-UTEC AG Salt Technologies; Actemium Fördertechnik Rheinland GmbH; Höft GmbH; Intectus GmbH; Haver & Boecker OHG; Liebherr-Werk Biberach GmbH; NAUE GmbH & Co. KG; voestalpine Böhler Welding Germany GmbH; and GP Papenburg Maschinenbau GmbH.
He said the delegation attended a roundtable with representatives of the Namibia Investment Centre; Chamber of Mines; and Ministry of Works and Transport, followed by a meeting with Lithon Project Consultants.
They also visited companies in Walvis Bay such as Walvis Bay Salt Holdings; Namibian Uranium Association and NamPort.
This was not the first visit of a Germany delegation to Namibia with others here in April, September, October and November this year.
Kinne said German companies can contribute significantly to mineral beatification and a modern, reliable infrastructure in Namibia, thus by organising these visits, the embassy supports the government''s Growth at Home Strategy and the Harambee Prosperity Plan.
