#Ethiopia has been hosting the African Sourcing Fashion Week (ASFW) for ten years, cementing its position as Africa’s leading textile manufacturing and sourcing country. ASFW is the largest fashion event presenting the latest opportunities in Ethiopia and #Africa's #textile and #garment sector. It is a great opportunity to identify new potential suppliers and reconnect with existing partners. Interested German and European buyers are invited to participate in the competition to join the delegation's visit to Ethiopia during ASFW. This is a great opportunity to identify potential suppliers in Ethiopia through pre-selected factory visits and one-on-one discussions. The delegation visit will take place from November 8th to 12th, 2024. More details are in the attached document below. ASFW Addis - Africa Sourcing and Fashion Week and GIZ Ethiopia and Djibouti
