Talented students, early career professionals, entrepreneurs and academics from all disciplines with groundbreaking research, business models and initiatives are being invited to apply for the Falling Walls Lab Namibia initiative.
The Falling Walls Lab Namibia is hosted by the German Academic Exchange Service and will take place on 30 September, 16:00, at the Namibia University of Science and Technology.
