Organized by the CABC Overseas Member, The China Africa Advisory, the 1st Ethiopia Railway Summit was successfully held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 17 to 18 September 2018. It was a first-of-its-kind event dedicated to the development of Ethiopia’s railway sector, providing an effective platform for international railway technology companies, investors and financial institutions to engage with Ethiopian decision-makers and technical experts on concrete partnership opportunities.
Ethiopia has the ambition to create over 5,000 km of modern railway across the country offering a USD 15 billion business opportunity, which is now also being realized through the country’s new Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) regulations and privatization efforts.
It was announced that the 2nd Ethiopia Railway Summit will also take place in Addis Ababa in 2019.
