World Ozone Day 2026!

This year’s theme, “Global Action for a Cooler Planet,” marks 10 years of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol and highlights the importance of sustainable cooling for climate action, resilient development and a healthier planet.

At DSIK, we recognise that climate resilience is also a business and financial resilience issue. Through our work in Namibia, we support entrepreneurs and MSMEs to strengthen their business capabilities, improve financial skills and build resilience to climate-related risks and opportunities.

As we engage with partners and stakeholders, we are reminded that a sustainable economy requires more than environmental action alone. Stronger businesses, sound financial foundations and climate-conscious decisions can contribute to a more resilient future.

Stronger businesses. Greater resilience. A cooler, more sustainable future.

LUANAR Students Equipped with Capital Markets Knowledge Ahead of Planspiel Börse Simulation

We are proud to share that Cohort 2 of the Planspiel Börse stock market simulation has officially commenced in partnership with the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR). Students from the Agribusiness Department, currently undertaking the Business Finance and Financial Markets course, participated in a two-day training on capital markets and stock exchange trading held at Bunda Campus from 14 to 15 September 2026.

The training prepared students for Planspiel Börse, an international stock market simulation that gives young people hands-on experience in investing and financial decision-making through a risk-free virtual trading platform. Participants will use real market data and virtual funds to learn about investing, portfolio management, and stock market operations.

The sessions were facilitated by Rhoda Tembo of the Reserve Bank Of Malawi and Douglas David Nyirenda, of the Malawi Stock Exchange - MSE. Rhoda Tembo emphasized that capital markets are designed for long-term wealth creation and not for making quick profits. Douglas Nyirenda encouraged students to continue engaging with the stock market beyond the simulation, advising them to seek information, register as investors, and consult licensed financial professionals and brokers when investing with real funds.

Students will begin trading on 1 October 2026 with €50,000 in virtual capital, with the simulation concluding on 25 January 2027. We look forward to sharing monthly updates on their progress as they build practical investment skills and strengthen financial literacy through this exciting learning journey.
