81243509-Start-Up Centre Namibia

The German Government, through GIZ, supports the Namibian Government to improve conditions for the establishment and growth of start-ups in selected regions in Namibia. Start-ups have the potential to drive the creation of new jobs in Namibia and can have fundamental impact on overall economic productivity. Start-ups can also contribute to economic growth by spurring innovation and injecting competition. GIZ will build a Start-up Incubation and Innovation Centre in Windhoek with mobile outreach units to selected regions in Namibia. The Centre will incubate start-ups and serve as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all needs a start-up faces in its ideation, establishment and growth phases. The contractor will be tasked to manage the operations of the Start-up Centre with its co-working space, community space and makerspace. The contractor will develop a sustainable business model and viable revenue streams for the operation of the Start-up Centre, allowing it to cover its cost.
