Finnish businesses could expand their commercial presence in Namibia through digital services, logistics, tourism and consumer goods, as the two countries seek to broaden economic cooperation beyond mining and energy. Finnish Member of Parliament and Chairperson of the Finnish Parliament’s Namibia Friendship Group Ville Valkonen said Namibia’s developing economy offers opportunities for Finnish companies, particularly in sectors where Finland has established technological and infrastructure expertise. “Namibia is a young, dynamic economy. It provides lots of business possibilities for Finland,” Valkonen said. He identified logistics as a key area for cooperation, pointing to Namibia’s efforts to strengthen its role as a regional trade and transport gateway serving neighbouring markets, including Botswana and Zambia. thebrief.com.na/2026/10/finl… #namibia #opportunities #economy #growth #infrastruture @FinEmbWindhoek @NIPDB @parliament_nam
