Developing the economy in Ethiopia since 1957

Webuild’s history in Ethiopia began in the late 1950s, in a context profoundly different from today’s. At the time, Ethiopia was a nation seeking to break free from a long period of infrastructural backwardness, building its first significant projects, starting with roads, bridges, and small water distribution plants.

From the outset, the country and its political leadership developed a long-term vision that saw infrastructure as a driver for economic, social, and cultural growth. 

Webuild has been a leader and supporter of that vision, putting its expertise and engineering excellence at the service of major projects capable of opening a path to the future for the country. 

To date, Webuild has completed 30 projects in Ethiopia, almost all in the hydroelectric energy sector, essential for transforming the country into a strategic hub for clean energy in Africa.
