More than $13 Billion Reasons to Believe in Ethiopia 🇪🇹

The Invest in Ethiopia 2026 Forum has officially concluded, marking a major milestone with over $13 billion in investment deals signed across key sectors — including manufacturing, agriculture, energy, and construction.

This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about jobs created, innovation unlocked, foreign exchange strengthened, and partnerships built for the long term.

Building on the momentum of 2025 — where $1.6 billion worth of projects are already operational — this year’s outcomes send a clear message:
Ethiopia is open, ready, and rising as a leading investment destination.

From dialogue to deal-making, the Forum has once again proven to be a powerful platform for shaping the country’s economic future.

With ongoing reforms, expanding opportunities, and a strong focus on sustainable and inclusive growth, Ethiopia is positioning itself as a key destination for global investment.

Bara la Afrika linatoa ushuhuda mkubwa kwa ulimwengu mzima. Asante kwa kuishi imani yenu katika Yesu Kristo. Ni jinsi gani ilivyo muhimu kwamba kila mbatizwa ajisikie kuitwa na Mungu kuwa ishara ya matumaini katika Ulimwengu wa leo.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.

I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.

It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.
