I am very happy not only with the turnout but also with the engagement by the participants. The sectors defined for particular attention, textiles, leather and shoes, flowers, coffe, handicrafts and tourism were all covered.
Also the presentations by the Ethiopian Embassy in Stockholm, HSH, NORAD as well as Fredskorpset and the Information Office for Private Sector Development gave a thorough overview of the trade and investment climate in Ethiopia and the support arrangements available in Norway. The Embassy considers this seminar as a kickoff event for stronger, broader and more direct trade between Norway and Ethiopia and would like to thank Innovation Norway for the perfect facilitation and inspiring cooperation.
