In its efforts of modernizing business information exchange, the Ethiopian Chamber of Sectorial Associations has launched the first National Industrial E-Directory for the international business community.

The e-directory was developed with the aim of promoting business partnerships here and abroad by availing basic business information of the industrial sector in Ethiopia to all users. In this age of information the speed with which information is made available determines the pace with which a country develops.

Cognizant of this, the Ethiopian Chamber of Sectoral Associations with financial assistance from the Ethiopian Competitiveness Facility hired CAVALINK EVENT AND IT SOLUTION PLC to develop the e-directory based on agreed specifications. The company delivered the tested product and introduced it to stakeholders in a launching ceremony held at Magnolia Hotel and Conference Center on March 29, 2018.

The electronic industrial directory is a mobile application downloadable from ECSA’s website Download from Here found under Publications as Industrial directory).
