Ethiopia Summit 2015

The times are changing in the Horn of Africa and the wider East African Region. Ethiopia is now garnering attention from foreign and private investors—from London to Nairobi to Johannesburg. Against this background The Economist Events will be holding our Ethiopia Summit on October 28th and 29th 2015 at the Sheraton Hotel in Addis Ababa.

Ethiopia offers enormous growth and investment potential across all sectors
>> Real GDP growth forecast to average 7% a year between 2015 - 2019
>> A population of around 94 million people
>> A government aspiring to reach middle income status within the next decade.
