Namibia Business Hall of Fame Induction -2022

Ms. Johanna Cloete

SINCE its establishment in 2004, the Namibian Business Hall of Fame (NBHF) has proudly honoured local entrepreneurs and business leaders who have contributed significantly and consistently toward the socio-economic development of Namibia. These individuals are recognised for their outstanding diligence, ingenuity, excellent leadership qualities, and impactful entrepreneurial acumen in their respective trades and industries, benefitting the country in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). What better way to recognise the generations of inspiring doers and makers than through induction into the prestigious Namibia Business Hall of Fame.

The NBHF is part of the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) initiative by the Global Entrepreneurs Network (GEN) Namibia which aims to celebrate the global impacts of entrepreneurship and encourage the world, especially youth and females to take a leap into the rewarding and thrilling journey of entrepreneurship. GEN has established a global footprint that promotes policies, research, and innovative and developmental programmes which connect a dynamic global network of entrepreneurs towards integrated economic growth.

The NBHF takes pride in being a noteworthy mediator which recognises the outstanding work undertaken by Namibian entrepreneurs. Being inducted into the NBHF is an honorary achievement taking into consideration the hard work and perseverance which did not go unnoticed. The function of leadership is to produce more leaders and not followers and this honorary accolade is extended to deserving trailblazers, innovators, and business leaders who selflessly continue to inspire generations of leaders to come, through their commitment and perseverance.

Inductees are nominated under the following categories: Laureates, emerging entrepreneurs, and special awards.
