Gaeseb mentioned that each year, they strive to make the festival bigger than the previous one, adding that they aim to bring in more exhibitors and expose new businesses to a wider consumer base.
“We encourage businesses, industry leaders, and investors to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the Copper Festival, where craftsmanship, creativity, and business excellence come together,” he said.
He added that this high-profile event will set the stage for a range of engagements designed to facilitate business collaboration, foster economic growth, and celebrate Namibia’s craftsmanship and industrial capabilities.
