Sandoukan Debebe, the CEO of the Ethiopian Industrial Parks Development Corporation (IPDC), stated that new foreign and domestic investments joined industrial parks over the past three months. The investments are participating in agriculture, medicine and medical facilities, and product and service sectors. The investments are expected to increase job opportunities and improve production and service, the CEO added.

According to the CEO, the COVID-19 pandemic and the political instability of the country made the attraction of new investments difficult for over two years. However, industrial parks were making progress after the impacts of the pandemic and the political instability lessened, the CEO noted.

The Industrial Parks Development Corporation and the Asia-Africa Chamber of Commerce have formed a partnership by signing a memorandum of understanding. The CEO of the Industrial Parks Development Corporation, Akilulu Tadese, and the President of the Asia-Africa Chamber of Commerce, GD Singh (Dr.), signed the agreement.
