A new wave of industrial ambition is sweeping across Africa - and Addis Ababa stands at its forefront. In just two weeks, the Ethiopian capital hosted four high-impact events that underscored the continent’s accelerating shift toward economic self-determination and green industrial renewal: the “Ethiopia Tamirt” Expo, the Invest in Ethiopia 2025 High-Level Business Forum, the 6th Comesa Federation of Women in Business Trade Fair, and the Ethiopian Technology Expo 2025 (Etex 2025).
The Ethiopia Tamirt Expo (5-9 May) highlighted the surge of locally made products with the “Made in Ethiopia” brand. It attracted over 120,000 visitors and fostered business among 288 industries.
