Namibia should copy Norway's approach to oil money management. Clemens von Doderer from the Hanns Seidel Foundation says Norway shows how countries can share oil profits with all citizens. The third Namibia Oil and Gas Conference happens August 12-15 in Windhoek. Officials want Namibia to become a major energy player across Africa. Young people need to join the oil industry through education and business opportunities.
Conference organizers expect bigger crowds after last year brought over 1000 visitors from 35 countries. The event will teach local companies how to work with major oil operators. Technical sessions will cover new industry research and government rules. Business leaders will meet potential investors on the final day. The conference grew 52 percent in exhibition space and added 40 percent more participants from 2023 to 2024.
