On July 1st, 2021, a defining moment for Namibia’s journey into the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) was marked by the appointment of an eight-member Task Force by His Excellency, President Dr. Hage G. Geingob. This committee’s pivotal role was to assess Namibia’s preparedness for the 4IR landscape and craft essential policy and legislative guidelines. Beyond this, their ambit extended to the orchestration of the much-anticipated Namibia 4IR Conference, held in Windhoek on June 7th and 8th, 2022. Themed “4IR as an enabler of green and inclusive industrialization”, this event promised to set the tone for the nation’s tech-driven, sustainable future. Schoemans remains an ardent supporter of these initiatives, advocating for the seamless integration of technological advancements with Namibia’s development goals.
