•  made a contribution to the Namibian economy;

• community minded;

• achieved business excellence by establishing businesses where others would waiver;

• upheld the intrinsic values of entrepreneurship, and leadership.

 

Induction Categories:

​

Emerging Entrepreneurs – SMEs and Startups are recognized for their innovative practices, and contribution to the economy.

​

Laureates – for their extensive contribution to the economy, the country’s communities and philanthropy.

​

Special Awards – are awarded to special persons inducted as Laureates for outstanding actions in their communities.

​

After induction, the inductees are expected to join the forces of existing mentors to support other entrepreneurs to grow and scale.

​

The NBHF Mentorship program had highlights with Laureate Quinton van Rooyen traveling the country to share with people his experiences.

​

Many learned from his experiences. Many other examples like Laureate David Namalenga of Dinapama, took entrepreneurs under his wing and coached them to successfully scale their companies.

​

Annually every year we celebrate entrepreneurs by inducting them to the Namibian Business Hall of Fame (NBHF). We believe that telling their stories it will inspire others to become self-sufficient and sustainable in their entrepreneurial endeavors; growing the ecosystem.
