Made in Ethiopia Expo 2026 Showcases Industrial Achievements, Bright Future of Nation: President Taye

Addis Ababa, May 7, 2026 —The ongoing Made in Ethiopia Expo 2026 showcases the industrial achievements of the country and its bright future, according to President Taye Atseke Selassie.

The President visited the Fourth Made in Ethiopia Expo today.

The expo at the Addis International Convention Center, under the theme “Made in Ethiopia for Multifaceted Sovereignty”, is open to the public.

Noting that industry plays a vital role for a nation’s development, the President stressed the need for intensifying such efforts as part of ensuring Ethiopia's development.

President Taye said that the locally manufactured products on display have significant contributions not only for import substitution but also to attract investments as well and earn capital.

Commenting about export-standard products on display, he stated that most already have market access.

According to the President, the locally manufactured products on display are a showcase of how Ethiopia’s capacity and knowledge are transformed into a new phase.

The agro-processed products at the expo might also be valuable for the international market with their organic value, he added.

Countries with high manufacturing self-sufficiency can stand by themselves and ensure sovereignty, he pointed out, calling on local manufactures to intensify our efforts to ensure sovereignty.
