Addis Ababa will host a significant Belgian Luxembourgish Economic Mission from June 1-4, 2025, organized by CBL-ACP in partnership with the Embassies of Belgium, Luxembourg, and Ethiopia, the European Chamber, the Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce, and the Ethiopian Investment Commission. This high-level 4-day mission aims to foster stronger economic ties between Ethiopia and key European business leaders, presenting unparalleled opportunities for local and international businesses to engage with top Ethiopian institutions and policymakers.
Ethiopia, with its rapidly growing economy and over 120 million people, is becoming one of Africa’s most attractive business destinations. The country is undergoing bold reforms and investing heavily in infrastructure, positioning itself as a prime location for foreign investment. With currency liberalization and the launch of the Ethiopian Securities Exchange, Ethiopia is opening up like never before. The country’s dynamic growth is supported by massive infrastructure upgrades, an increasingly open banking sector, and exciting potential in agriculture, healthcare, renewable energy, and tourism, among other sectors.
For those who understand the timing, the mission offers a gateway to strategic growth in one of Africa’s most promising markets. Participants will gain privileged access to B2B and B2G meetings, sector-specific insights, and opportunities to network with decision-makers from both the public and private sectors. This mission also includes company and site visits to industrial zones and key infrastructure projects, allowing participants to better understand the on-the-ground dynamics of the Ethiopian market.
