Ethiopia’s Trade Show Attracts 142 Global Technology Leaders

Ethiopia’s 3rd International plastics, printing and packing trade show will feature 142 global technology leaders from 18 countries.

The number of global technology leaders that are going to take part in this year’s trade show will be more than twice as big as last year.

The upbeat market development and an ever increasing interest in the Ethiopian market is the reason for the increase in the participants, according to the organizers.

The exhibition is complemented by conferences, presentations and panel discussions on Financing for SMEs, recycling, reducing food losses and waste & post-harvest losses, focusing on food safety.

The exhibitors come from Austria, China, Denmark, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Malaysia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and USA.

Not less than five official country pavilions are present this year, including China, France, Germany, Italy and Turkey. Germany and Turkey are in for the first time with official national pavilions while the remaining renew and upgrade their pavilions. 

Fairtrade Messe, a German tradeshow organizer in cooperation with their Ethiopian partner Prana Events, organized the event scheduled for 09 to 11 May 2019 at the Millennium Hall in Addis Ababa./ENA
