This collaborative venture, initiated with a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2016, promises to be a game-changer for the textile industry.
The grand inauguration event saw dignitaries and industry experts from both nations gather in celebration of this remarkable achievement. The Ethiopian state minister for industry, Hasen Mohammed, expressed his optimism about the profound impact this center would have on Ethiopia’s industrialization journey. “Ethiopia’s vast human resource potential, coupled with its burgeoning market demand, makes it an ideal hub for export-oriented manufacturers,” stated Mohammed. He emphasized how the nation’s strategic location and fertile ground for industrial expansion are set to provide unprecedented opportunities.
