“This morning, I visited the Gobeze Solar Cell manufacturing plant located in the Huajian Special Economic Zone in Addis Ababa. The factory was established based on an agreement signed during the 2025 Invest in Ethiopia Forum, with an initial phase investment of 100 million dollars,” the Prime Minister said.
Premier Abiy stated that the manufacturing plant has created job opportunities for many citizens.
“With effective support and close follow-up, the “Gobeze Solar Cell” manufacturing plant became operational in just six months. It is equipped with modern machinery and technology. Built on 38 square meters, the factory has also created job opportunities for many citizens.
