We are working in Ethiopia since more than 25 years. The market is so big. We are getting more and more customers. The market is still untapped. Our experience this year was phantastic and we would definitely like to come back again next year.
Thomas S. Andersen, nilpeter
Our goal is to increase the nilpeter profile in Ethiopia and visit users and converters that are here already. It has actually been a very good show for us. We have met a lot of people that we didn’t know. This exhibition is just a perfect place for us.
