Investors and funds
Invest in Ethiopia
Ethiopia, Africa's second most populous country, welcomes investors ready to grow with it. The Ethiopian Investment Commission is the national investment promotion agency. It supports investors from the first enquiry through licensing, registration, and aftercare.
Three priority sectors show where opportunity lies:
Agriculture and Agro-processing: adding value to crops grown across Ethiopia's highlands and lowlands, from coffee to processed foods for home and export markets.
Manufacturing: from textiles and garments to pharmaceuticals, supported by industrial parks and Special Economic Zones designed for export-oriented investment.
Mining: exploring and developing the country's mineral resources with responsible, long term partners.
For current sector information, incentives and application guidance, contact the Ethiopian Investment Commission. Its team can help you identify the right sector, location and license for your project.
