What our clients say

Most valuable two days

“Absolutely worth my time. Two days that allowed me to speak to all key players of Ethiopia's railway sector. I have never seen anything like it.”

Edward HartungOracle

Many promising leads

“Excellent event, in particular the pre-arranged bilateral meetings with governments, banks and companies. I got very promising leads and many new insights from presentations and private conversations.”

Justin MichauLohr Industrie

Unique insights

“The quality of the 1-On-1 meetings with government officials really set this conference apart. I got unique insights on where Ethiopia stands with its logistics sector and what comes next.”

Julian KrieselThelo DB

Head start

“Most important for me was to learn about an upcoming tender and have the possibility to discuss with the person in charge from government directly. I feel this gave me a head start over my competitors.”
