The United Entrepreneurs Association of Namibia, together with the Start-Up SADC member states, aims to create a single market for goods and services to deepen economic integration on the African continent.

The founder of Start-Up SADC, Moses Sereme, says there is a need for Africans to hold hands to promote industrial development and sustainable and inclusive social-economic growth.

He was speaking at the Start-Up SADC conference by the United Entrepreneurs Association of Namibia at Swakopmund.

Sereme says Africa, being home to about 1.3 billion inhabitants, needs to be able to develop its own technology teams to keep up with the outside world.
 
He, therefore, urges African entrepreneurs to be more creative to solve ongoing economic challenges.
 
The Deputy Minister of Industrialization and Trade, Verna Sinimbo, says that it is time for Africans to embrace their business ideas going forward.
