With just over three weeks remaining, the countdown is on to the Solar & Storage Leadership Forum Namibia 2026, taking place on 30 October 2026 in Windhoek. Organised by FirstVIEW and powered by SolarQuarter and Energy Storage Pro, the event will bring together perspectives from business, finance, technology, education and industry development for a focused Business Leaders Meet.
