AIFA joined a Germany-based program spanning Berlin and Stuttgart to build importer connections, deepen market knowledge, and benchmark world-class operational excellence in agro‑processing.

AIFA was proud to participate in a recent Ethio‑German business delegation engagement in Germany—an initiative designed to translate bilateral cooperation into practical commercial outcomes. In AIFA’s delegation recap, the company emphasized that the mission created an excellent platform to explore international market opportunities, connect with potential importers, and engage with development partners committed to advancing private-sector growth.

AIFA’s experience aligns with how official organizers structure these forums: pairing high-level dialogue with targeted B2B interactions that help companies identify real partnership pathways. Official event listings confirm that on November 26, 2025 a high-level Ethiopia–Germany business forum took place in Berlin, explicitly dedicated to deepening trade and investment relations and to organizing B2B engagement across priority sectors—including agro‑processing and digital innovation.

As part of the mission, AIFA’s CEO participated in the German–Ethiopian Business Forum “with productive stops in both Berlin and Stuttgart.”

 This itinerary is consistent with the late‑November 2025 calendar of Ethio‑German business engagement: a Berlin-based forum followed by a Baden‑Württemberg-hosted Stuttgart forum welcoming an Ethiopian business delegation, with agriculture/agro‑processing and ICT among its stated focus sectors.

For AIFA, the delegation format is particularly relevant because it compresses months of relationship-building into a structured, high-trust environment: it brings together policymakers, business associations, potential buyers, and implementation partners who can help translate dialogue into execution. In parallel, the policy backdrop reinforces the importance of private-sector growth and enabling reforms, with Ethiopia’s Ministry of Finance explicitly describing private-sector engagement and ongoing reforms as central to economic transformation and a more conducive business environment.
