Mobile Telecommunications Ltd, MTC on Saturday announced a sponsorship amount of N$385 000 to the Ongwediva Annual Trade Fair Preparatory Committee (OATF-PC).
During a gala dinner hosted in the northern town of Ongwediva, MTC remained the official main sponsor of the trade fair. As per the norm, the annual event is scheduled to take place in August.
Speaking at the event, MTC’s Public Relations Officer, Erasmus Nekundi highlighted the need and importance of continuing to create enabling environment that encourages and promote entrepreneurship.
“Over the past 15years, our support to the OATF has been resolute, and this is mainly because we recognize the value which the event brings in terms of business stimulation, employment and wealth creation, and ultimately to the national economic build-up of our country. Furthermore, the OATF serves as a trailblazer in creating a safe space for exchanging business ideas, promoting trade, and creating for businesses a direct channel to the market.
Moreover, our support is therefore indicative of our commitment to aiding the advent of small and medium business development, while concurrently allowing established macro businesses to reach out and take their product and service offerings to the market. Our thanks, therefore, goes to the leadership of the Ongwediva Town Council, and the OATF preparatory committee for granting us the opportunity to make a difference, through our continuous meaningful partnership. We are confident that this year’s edition of the OATF is yet again going to be another milestone.”
Hosted annually, OATF is a hallmark for promoting entrepreneurial activities, and is to date recognized as one of the country’s biggest business exhibiting platform, which has this year attracted interest from over 400 exhibitors from across the country and SADC.
