Wennovate Consult and The Ethiopian Embassy in Sweden are excited to invite you to "Innovation, Investment, and Partnership: Bridging Norway and Ethiopia for Sustainable Growth," a special one-day event taking place on November 7, 2024, in Oslo, Norway. This event is designed to nurture sustainable collaboration between Norway and Ethiopia.

Are you an investor looking for promising opportunities in emerging markets? Are you an educator or NGO representative passionate about sustainable development? This event is an opportunity for you to engage with actors driving sustainable development in Ethiopia. You will have the chance to network with key stakeholders, including businesses, governmental bodies, and NGOs.

You will hear keynotes from officials and experts focusing on innovation and development. Engaging panel discussions will cover topics like education, health, agriculture, and the role of the private sector.
