A productive week in Ethiopia for AHK Eastern Africa: Advancing German-Ethiopian Business Cooperation

From Bahir Dar to Addis Ababa, AHK Eastern Africa - Delegation of German Industry and Commerce for Eastern Africa had the opportunity to strengthen connections and promote German-Ethiopian business cooperation.

In Bahir Dar, it was a pleasure to accompany Dr. Ferdinand von Weyhe, Deputy Ambassador of Germany to Ethiopia, in engaging with the Amhara Region Chamber of Sectoral Association and members of the regional business community.

 

Back in Addis Ababa, we participated in the 8th agrofood & Plast Printpack Ethiopia and Ethiopia Food & Ethiopica Coffee Show, which brought together more than 150 exhibitors from 19 countries.

Together with the Ambassador of Germany to Ethiopia Birgitt Ory, we engaged with German companies, KHS Group and BBM Maschinenbau und Vertriebs GmbH, and exchanged views with Paul Marz of fairtrade Messe and Nebeyu Lemma of Prana Events on Ethiopia's growing market potential and the role of trade fairs in fostering business partnerships.

 

These engagements reflect the Ethiopian Desk's commitment to creating connections, facilitating dialogue, and supporting stronger economic cooperation between Ethiopia and Germany.

Looking forward to building on these conversations and turning opportunities into lasting partnerships.
