GE recognizes Ethiopia as a major infrastructure development hub and has been present and actively participating in key Ethiopia projects for over 20 years.

In January 2014, GE and the Government of Ethiopia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining potential areas of cooperation to jointly develop projects in energy, aviation/transportation and healthcare sectors to support key infrastructure initiatives being developed under Ethiopia’s Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP).

Our presence in Ethiopia has grown from 1 person in 2011 to 40 professionals in 2017. More than 90% of our staff are Ethiopians, supporting and helping to deliver on critical infrastructure projects through job creation, technology solutions, supply chain development, knowledge transfer programs and robust capacity development initiatives with our customers.
