Aviation and air transport
Ethiopian Airlines, headquartered at Bole International Airport, is a leading African carrier with extensive operations, driving demand for aviation management, logistics, safety and customer-service training in the city.
Financial services and banking
Major banks such as Commercial Bank of Ethiopia and Dashen Bank are headquartered in Addis Ababa, supporting a growing financial sector that invests in training on risk management, digital banking, governance and compliance.
Information and communication technology (ICT)

Manufacturing and industrial parks
Industrial zones such as Bole Lemi Industrial Park and the Eastern Industry Zone support textile, apparel and light manufacturing, generating demand for workforce upskilling in operations, quality control and lean manufacturing.
Training venue
Addis Ababa offers a range of international-standard hotels and dedicated training venues, particularly in areas like Bole and the city center, with modern meeting rooms and conference facilities suited to professional programs.
Getting there
No direct flights from Switzerland to Addis Ababa were confirmed in the search results for Zurich; the route requires at least 1 connection, with Frankfurt am Main (FRA) shown as a typical layover and Ethiopian Airlines operating Zurich–Addis Ababa service from Zurich (ZRH) to Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD). The shortest reported one-way itinerary is about 9h 35m, and Ethiopian Airlines is the most clearly identified carrier on this city pair.
Visa
Swiss passport holders need a visa to enter Ethiopia; Ethiopia’s eVisa is available online for air arrivals and VisaHQ states that only Kenya and Djibouti have visa-free access, while other nationals need an entry document. For a 5-day professional training trip, the relevant option is typically a business eVisa, with a passport valid for at least 6 months from intended entry; the specific fee and processing time were not substantiated in the search results.
Safety
Take normal urban precautions: keep valuables discreet, use registered taxis or trusted ride-hailing services, and follow local advice about areas to avoid after dark or during political events.
