he first Biomass Technology

“One truth in Namibia is that seeing is
believing,” said Lindeque.
“Many farmers see brochures and videos, but
they do not believe it until they can see it in
action. That is what this event is about, we
tried to bring together the farmers, SMEs and
entrepreneurs to dispose of the brochures
and sales talks to see the equipment in
action for themselves.”
Lindeque added that the aim was to support
improved linkages among those with the
biomass and entrepreneurs offering the
services and technologies in Namibia as well
as in neighbouring countries.
“The Paratus mobile VSAT Solution was
brilliant,” he said.
“The organising team used it throughout the
event to upload live videos, communicate
and access the Internet.”
