The Ethio-Logistics Sectoral Association (ELSA) hosted the Business Boosting Conference along the Ethiopia-Djibouti trade and logistics corridor and beyond.

According to a statement from ELSA, this two-day conference, held from January 21st at the Sheraton Addis, aimed to strengthen economic ties and enhance trade between Ethiopia, Djibouti, and other regions.

The conference provided a unique platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and strategic collaboration between the two countries.

Participants discussed innovative strategies for increasing trade, boosting productivity, and overcoming the challenges of contemporary trade and logistics both locally and globally.

The event brought together key stakeholders from both nations, including high-level decision-makers, business leaders, officials, and industry experts, all with the goal of driving mutual growth and improving productivity.

The Ethiopia-Djibouti corridor, a vital route for regional trade, requires enhancement to support Ethiopia’s growing economy and meet regional demands.

This corridor serves as a critical link for the economies of Ethiopia and Djibouti while promoting regional economic integration.

Enhancing facilitation, coordination, automation, and modernization of this corridor, along with trade integration, will significantly improve logistics performance and, in turn, boost the region’s economy.
