The event brought together local entrepreneurs, community members, and investors to unlock new business opportunities and foster partnerships. 

It was held under the theme 'Unlocking Keetmanshoop's Potential: Pathways to Sustainable Growth and Investment'. 

"The Keetmanshoop Municipality is committed to developing infrastructure that will support sustainable growth and attract investment to our town. Our council remains open to public-private dialogue because we believe that collaboration is key to achieving our shared vision for economic opulence," said Keetmanshoop Mayor McDonald Hanse.
