- An industrialising economy with import demand

- Landlocked — entry via corridors and partners matters
- Early-mover advantage for structured European entrants

Straight answers
How do companies serve Ethiopia given it is landlocked?
Through the Djibouti corridor and regional trade routes — which is exactly where our Horn network operates.
Is Ethiopia open to foreign companies?
Yes, with sector-specific rules and a government focused on industrialisation. The regulatory landscape needs expert navigation — that is part of what we do.
What is the realistic entry timeline?
From assessment to first customers typically takes longer than coastal markets. We plan for it honestly, so your board is never surprised.
