Ethiopia Invites African Leaders to Embrace Ethiopia’s Flourishing Investment Landscape

Addis Ababa, February 13, 2026 (ENA)—As the 39th African Union Summit officially convenes in the historic capital, the Office of the Prime Minister has extended a profound invitation to African heads of state and delegates to explore the vast economic horizons of a transforming Ethiopia.

The Office emphasized that the nation’s ongoing structural changes have paved a golden path for sustainable partnership.

“While you are here for the #AUSummit, think #InvestInEthiopia,” the Office of the Prime Minister remarked, highlighting the strategic timing of this invitation as the continent gathers to discuss shared destinies.

Central to this appeal is the success of the nation's internal economic restructuring.

According to PMO, “Through our Homegrown Economic Reform Agenda, we have built an investor-first ecosystem, anchored in a transparent #FDI framework, modern Special Economic Zones, and seamless access to #AfCFTA and African and global markets,” the Office stated.

This framework is designed to dismantle traditional barriers and foster a climate where capital can flourish with security and predictability.

The Office further detailed the unique competitive advantages that position Ethiopia as a titan of renewable energy and industrial potential.

Driven by what it described as “strategic, sustainability-focused leadership and powered by the GERD,” the nation now offers a remarkable “98%+ renewable energy” profile.

This green energy backbone is complemented by “expanding digital infrastructure, enhanced telecommunications, and a skilled workforce ready to deliver sustainable returns.”

Looking toward the future of African integration, the Office identified key sectors ripe for immediate engagement. It noted that the Ethiopian economy is primed for growth “across agritech, manufacturing, fintech, e-commerce, mining, and beyond.”

In its concluding remarks, the Office of the Prime Minister underscored that these investments transcend national borders, serving as a catalyst for the entire region by “strengthening regional value chains and advancing Africa’s shared prosperity.”
