Middle East–Africa Investment and Trade
Investment and trade flows between the Middle East — including Gulf and North African markets — and Africa have grown across manufacturing, logistics and infrastructure. QOS supports this activity with engineering, sourcing and project coordination from its Ethiopia base and wider international network.

How QOS supports Middle East–Africa investment and trade flows, coordinating sourcing, engineering and project delivery from its Ethiopia base.
What is driving Middle East–Africa investment
Gulf-based investors and Middle Eastern companies increasingly view African markets — including Ethiopia and neighboring East African economies — as destinations for manufacturing, logistics, energy and infrastructure investment. At the same time, African exporters look to Middle Eastern markets for trade and distribution.
The practical work behind this activity is technical and logistical: verifying local partners, coordinating equipment and materials, and managing on-the-ground project delivery. QOS is directly established in Ethiopia and coordinates this support remotely for the wider Middle East–Africa corridor, working with local partners for on-site delivery.
