When a massive Chinese factory complex attempts a high-stakes expansion in rural Ethiopia, three women in search of prosperity have their faith in industrialisation tested to the limit.

Join us for a screening of award-winning documentary ‘Made in Ethiopia’, exploring the realities of China’s foreign direct investments in Ethiopia through the eyes of a Chinese investor and local communities.

Co-organised by the University of Sussex Business School and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), this free screening will be followed by an expert panel discussion exploring the issues and implications raised.

Panellists

• Professor John Humphrey, Honorary Visiting Professor (Strategy and Marketing), University of Sussex and IDS Research Associate
• Dr Seife Ayele, IDS Research Fellow
• Dr Jing Gu, Director, Centre for Rising Powers and Global Development, ID
• Professor Stephan Manning – Professor of Strategy and Innovation (Strategy and Marketing), University of Sussex.

‘Made in Ethiopia’ was written and directed by Max Duncan and Xinyan Yu, for more information visit the official website.

This event will be in-person only and will be in the IDS Convening Space. All are welcome.
