By Dagmawit Atnafu A Bimonthly investment exhibition and forum launches this August. August 3rd 2019 saw the launch of a daylong ambitious event and expo all about
investment. Hosted in Sapphire Addis Hotel, the exhibition and forum featured more than 20 companies offering different investment opportunities, along with panel discussions, research review and capital market talks all from important actors in the Ethiopian investment arena. The event was organised by Golden Media and Events, an event organizing and media company, in association with the Ethiopian Investment Commission, as part of the commission’s effort to attract the private sector- local, diaspora and foreign- to invest in Ethiopia. Ethiopian Investment Commission Deputy Commissioner Temesgen Tilahun, in his opening remarks, noted, “We are shifting from government led business and investment to a private led one”, adding that the commission is great progress in loosening restrictions and road blocks that were previously a hindrance to private investors looking to invest. The efforts of the government making strides in making the investment process inclusive didn’t go unnoticed by the public, and the private sector is hugely taking advantage. The founder and CEO of Golden Media and Events Biniam Atakilt is taking the initiative to promote the accessibility of this opportunity.
