Trade promotion services and experts in Namibia

Our services 

The services of our missions abroad are available to your company. We provide up-to-date market information, facilitate establishing contacts and help in market access issues. 

The services provided by the missions are part of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs’ business services. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs is a member of Team Finland, a network of public sector actors providing internationalisation services to Finnish companies.

The aim of the Team Finland network is to increase trade between Finland and Namibia, to support and help Finnish companies that are interested in the Namibian market and to attract investments from Namibia to Finland.

We support Finnish companies in creating successful business partnerships. This includes the identification of commercial opportunities and those interested in the supply and expertise of Finnish companies, networking, market reviews and the views of companies already on the market on the best market entry strategies. We also support innovation cooperation and research and development between Finnish and Namibian companies and universities. We organize trips that promote the export and internationalization of companies, giving them visibility and access to local companies, authorities and the media.

We offer advisory services to Finnish companies, such as information on market access and the regulatory environment, as well as other information services. We help with networking and are able to open doors for companies looking to enter the Namibian market. Through us, companies get in touch with local authorities.

Finland published its Africa Strategy in March 2021. The document presents the strategic priorities of Finland's Africa policy. Finland wants to develop and deepen its relations with African countries, the African Union (AU) and regional organizations in the coming years. Strengthening political and economic relations will benefit both Finland and Africa.

Market information

We encourage all Finnish companies interested in Namibia and Angola, and those already operating in these markets, to contact the Embassy. We will gladly help to boost your business and Finnish exports!

Finnish honorary consulates

Honorary consulates complement Finland’s network of missions abroad, which consists of embassies, consulates general, consulates and liaison offices. Honorary consuls are private individuals who carry out consular functions on a part-time basis without remuneration. An honorary consul can advise Finnish companies on how to get information on local business culture and find business partners, among other matters.
