FNB Botswana Showcases FirstPreneurs at Global Expo 2025, Empowering Local Innovation. FNB Botswana is shining a spotlight on homegrown entrepreneurship at this year’s Global Expo Botswana 2025, celebrating innovation, creativity, and enterprise. Through its FirstPreneurs Programme, the bank is empowering a dynamic group of local entrepreneurs who are driving Botswana’s economic transformation.

Hosted at Ditshupo Hall, the Global Expo brings together businesses, investors, and industry leaders to showcase emerging ideas and explore partnerships that strengthen Botswana’s private sector. This year, FNB Botswana’s stand has become a hub of inspiration — where visitors can meet the FirstPreneurs, learn about their ventures, and witness firsthand how young businesses are turning ambition into tangible growth.

The FirstPreneurs initiative was introduced to provide targeted support for start-ups and small enterprises, offering access to financial solutions, business mentorship, and platforms for visibility. By featuring these entrepreneurs at a national event of this scale, FNB Botswana reinforces its commitment to nurturing an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem that fuels innovation and job creation.

“Empowering entrepreneurs is central to Botswana’s growth story,” the bank shared in its statement. “At FNB Botswana, we believe in helping those who move the nation forward — because help truly changes everything.”

The showcase aligns with Botswana’s broader vision of building a resilient, knowledge-driven economy anchored in innovation and private sector participation. Entrepreneurs at the Expo represent diverse industries, reflecting the country’s expanding creative and business landscape.

As the Global Expo continues, FNB Botswana invites the business community and aspiring entrepreneurs to engage with the FirstPreneurs, exchange ideas, and explore collaboration opportunities that contribute to sustainable economic progress.
