The Development Bank of Namibia (DBN) is proud to announce the highly anticipated Good Business and Innovation Awards 2025, scheduled for 19 May 2025.
Under the theme “Celebrating Innovation and Impact,” this year’s awards aim to honour trailblazing enterprises and forward-thinking leaders who are driving positive change in Namibia’s socio-economic landscape through business excellence and innovation.
The ceremony is expected to attract a distinguished audience comprising members of the business community, senior executives, industry thought leaders, and high-ranking dignitaries from both the public and private sectors.
Her Excellency, Lucia Witbooi, vice-president of the Republic of Namibia, will deliver the keynote address, underscoring the government’s commitment to supporting enterprise-led development and transformative innovation in Namibia.
The 2025 Good Business and Innovation Awards will recognise excellence across three categories, with N$150 000 awarded to the small and medium enterprises (SME) winner, N$250 000 to the Large Enterprise winner, and N$400,000 to the Innovation Award recipient.
Commenting on the upcoming event, DBN’s chief marketing and corporate affairs, Jerome Mutumba, said, “These awards represent more than just recognition, they reflect our commitment to unlocking enterprise potential and accelerating inclusive development. We look forward to highlighting the efforts of enterprises and innovators who are not only redefining possibility but also making a tangible impact on Namibia’s socio-economic progress.”
The Good Business and Innovation Awards serve as a platform to showcase and encourage the spirit of enterprise that is essential to national development. With this year’s theme, DBN continues to place the spotlight on innovation as a cornerstone of economic resilience and social impact.
