 As you may be aware, Ethiopia is one of the fastest growing countries in Africa with consistent stability that has sparked the interests of global firms. The country is expected to become a sourcing hub for the global textile and garment industry within the next decade. The country has adopted a multipronged strategy including strengthening key infrastructure (roads and rail connectivity), development of industrial parks, regulatory reforms and expanding access to formal training programmes to create a conducive business environment.

The keynote address for the workshop will be by H.E. Mr. Bogale Feleke, State Minister, Ethiopia. The interactive session will also feature presentations and discussion with members of the Ethiopian delegation including members of the textile and apparel sector.
