AGMEX 2027 Preview Brings Together Ethiopia's Green Energy and Mobility Leaders in Addis Ababa

AGMEX 2027 took an important step towards its inaugural exhibition with a successful Event Briefing & Preview held on 5 November 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa.

The event brought together representatives from businesses, utilities, diplomatic missions, investment organisations, development institutions and the media to explore the opportunities emerging across Ethiopia's green energy and electric mobility sectors.

With 37 organisations represented and 49 survey responses collected, the briefing offered valuable insight into industry priorities, business interests and expectations for AGMEX 2027, taking place from 25–27 February 2027 at the Addis International Convention Centre (AICC).

Bringing Ethiopia's Green Energy Industry Together

The briefing introduced AGMEX 2027 as a business-to-business exhibition and conference connecting international technology suppliers, investors and industry experts with Ethiopian businesses, buyers and decision-makers.

Discussions focused on five key sectors: solar energy, battery storage, electric vehicles, EV charging infrastructure and industrial electrification.

These industries are becoming increasingly important as Ethiopia explores cleaner transport solutions, reliable energy systems and new opportunities for sustainable industrial development.

The event also provided a platform for business networking, allowing participants to exchange ideas, discuss potential partnerships and learn more about exhibiting, visiting and speaking at AGMEX 2027.

Among the organisations represented were Ethiopian Electric Utility, Ethiopian IT Park Corporation, Ethio telecom, GIZ, C40 Cities, Dubai Chamber, the Italian Trade Agency, World Resources Institute and several companies active in Ethiopia's energy and mobility markets.

Industry Survey Highlights Strong Interest in Clean Energy Investment

One of the most valuable outcomes of the briefing was the feedback gathered through a participant survey.

49 survey responses revealed several important findings:

• 65% prioritised access to finance and investment.

• 57% identified supportive policies as an important industry need.

• 47% expressed interest in solar energy.

• 39% selected electric vehicles.

• 33% selected charging infrastructure.

• 53% expressed interest in exhibiting at AGMEX 2027.

• 61% wanted to meet development partners.

The results highlight the importance of bringing technology providers, investors, government stakeholders and local businesses together.

They also demonstrate the value of creating opportunities for practical conversations about financing, policy, infrastructure and market development.

For international companies considering entering the Ethiopian market, AGMEX aims to provide a platform for meeting potential distributors, customers and project partners.

Ethiopian IT Park Corporation Introduced as Incoming Strategic Partner

An important moment during the briefing was an address by the Ethiopian IT Park Corporation, introduced as AGMEX's incoming Strategic Partner.

Its participation reflects the connections between technology, infrastructure and Ethiopia's developing green economy.

The event also included a presentation of AGMEX's vision, participation opportunities and planned exhibition sectors, followed by an audience Q&A.

These discussions gave participants an opportunity to raise questions, share perspectives and explore how the exhibition could support their business objectives.

Introducing AGMEX Live: Industry Conversations and Expert Perspectives

The briefing also marked an early step in the development of AGMEX Live, the exhibition's dedicated interview and media platform.

Eight interviews were recorded during the event, capturing perspectives from stakeholders across the industry.

AGMEX Live will provide a space for conversations about renewable energy, electric mobility, battery storage, investment and the technologies shaping Africa's sustainable future.

The platform will continue to develop through industry interviews, event coverage and expert discussions.
