In pursuit of the mission and vision of the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation, and in line with the strategic guidelines of the Government of Namibia, the Mission strives to enhance and further strengthen bilateral relations with Austria and the countries of concurrent accreditation.  We therefore invite all prospective investors/tourists to make full use of the information provided, or to contact the Mission for further information where the need exists.

Namibia provides numerous opportunities for international investors seeking a foothold and growth on the African continent, among others:

  • Infrastructure And Logistics
  • Serviced Land And Housing
  • Manufacturing And Market Access
  • Agriculture
  • Energy
  • Social Enterprise
  • Tourism

Why Namibia you may ask?  The answer lies in the sound democratic governance architecture, multi-party democracy and the high degree of political stability enjoyed since achieving Independence in 1990.  Stability is maintained by strict adherence to the Constitution.

Furthermore, Namibia was awarded as Top Country at the Wanderlust Readers’ Travel Awards in January 2019, and with a score of 97.69, a visit to Namibia should top your list of things to do.  We welcome you with true Namibian friendship!
