With a population of over 100 million people, Ethiopia is the second most populous country in Africa. Over the last decade, Ethiopia has had one of the fastest growing economies in the world. In 2017, Ethiopia's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded by 10.9 percent, and is expected to grow by 8.5%, according to the World Bank.

LIGHTEXPO has been a unique event in the African market. Having being branched out from BUILDEXPO previously, LIGHTEXPO will be the largest event for the lighting market in Africa.
