A team of Irish business professionals is expected here shortly for the "Irish business week" to run from April 7 to April 11 to meet and work with local counterparts, through business seminars and mentoring workshops, Connect Ethiopia announced on Thursday.
Connect Ethiopia is an initiative which aims to develop trade and business partnerships between Ireland and Ethiopia while at the same time fostering and encouraging trade & investment into the country.
The Irish professionals from various fields will thus conduct seminars in a number of locations in Addis Ababa and Mekele and will cover a variety of topics such as IT, business development, Growing your Business, Digital Photography, Women in Business, Design for Print, Project Management, among others.
Many of the seminars are being held with the support of the Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce.
"We have been visiting Ethiopia for the last two years, and our timing coincides with the Ethiopian Government's efforts to grow their economy and provide a more dynamic business regime" Brody Sweeney co-founder of Connect Ethiopia said in a statement.
The objective of the upcoming trade mission is to continue the programme of engagement with members of the Ethiopian business community.
"Training sessions are an integral element of Connect Ethiopia's strategy, to impart knowledge and experience to our Ethiopian counterparts" said Sweeney.

"Through mentoring & up-skilling, Connect Ethiopia aim to bring these companies to a point, where they can do business with Irish and International companies," he added.
In early 1868, the British force seeking King Tewodros surrender came to an agreement in which Kassa Mercha of Tigray would let the British pass through Tigray in exchange for money and weapons. When the British were leaving Ethiopia they rewarded Kassa for his cooperation with artillery, muskets, rifles, and munitions, all worth approximately £500,000. Six months later on 21 January 1872, Kassa of Tigray became the new emperor of Ethiopia, under the name Yohannes IV. Richard Punkhurts
