Eenhana Expo kicks off

The 2017 Eenhana Trade and Business Expo started its activities on Monday with 230 local and foreign exhibitors showcasing their products and services at the town.
The expo, now in its 10th year, is being hosted at the newly-built Eenhana Convention City centre for the first time.
Previously, the popular event was held at the Eenhana Multi-Purpose Youth Centre.
The council’s corporate communications officer, Paullo Shilongo on Tuesday told Nampa the new venue has improved exhibition facilities providing ample space for exhibitors, activities and visitors.
He further said foreign entrepreneurs participating in the showcase this year include three exhibitors from Tanzania, one from Zimbabwe and three from Kenya.
Shilongo called on people of the Ohangwena Region and elsewhere to visit the expo, which is amongst others aimed at business networking, establishing partnerships and information sharing.
He added that the incorporation of the Kapuka Annual Sport Tournament into the expo and the establishment of the Convention City make the show special this year.
The Kapuka Annual Sport Tournament, the Ohangwena Region-based sporting event hosted every year mostly for schools in the far northern Namibia, used to be held at Helao Nafidi.
The main sponsor of the Expo is Nicodemus Holdings, with a contribution of N.dollars 120 000.
The event, hosted under the theme ‘A decade of entrepreneurship and exhibition excellence’, ends on Saturday.
