Over the past two decades, the Ethiopian government has strengthened the country’s competitiveness through major improvements in appropriate infrastructure and technical capacity, including massive investments in state-of-the-art industrial parks and logistics centers. Ethiopia’s transportation sector has been dramatically improved through the building of thousands of kilometers of paved roads, developing the railway system, and creating air passenger and cargo capacity unrivaled anywhere in the continent of Africa. In addition, the government is implementing wide-ranging economic reform and privatization measures, opening several new sectors to foreign investments.    The U.S.-Ethiopia Investment Dialogue will provide a platform for participants to gain insights and updates on Ethiopia’s ongoing economic reform in key sectors, such as telecommunications, ICT, agribusiness, mining, and logistics. The purpose of the Dialogue is to promote U.S.-Ethiopia investment and trade. Speakers will highlight potential investment opportunities for U.S. companies arising from Ethiopia’s reform and privatization efforts.
