The University of Namibia Business Innovation Society was established on 17 March this year by a group of enthusiastic students who wanted to create jobs before and after graduation. One of their key motives is to create a platform from which students and all those interested in business and entrepreneurship will get the survival tips on how to start a business, how to finance it, how to manage it and most importantly teach them that they do not have to be employees but employers.
