Following the live video-conference between
Cremona in Italy and Addis Ababa, in Ethiopia, and armed with the intention of
promoting Ethiopia and its captains of industry, Ocrim set out to recognise the
commitment of Italians and others who have not only made themselves highly
regarded for their entrepreneurship in food processing, but also for their
creativity and taste.
Presented at the Hilton Hotel Conference Centre in Addis Ababa, ‘The Captains of the Year’ awards were given in recognition of a plethora of qualities indicative of excellent business acumen.
This initiative was created to strengthen mutual esteem and cooperation between these two countries as an initiative regarding the staples of Italian food.

who have lived in and loved the country in the past decades.
Inspired by a heady mixture of professionalism and commitment, the speakers
shared their experiences with the assembled audience; with each anecdote
characterised by a certain something that makes them both unique and unequalled
in their profession.
The ‘Captains of the year – Italy-Ethiopia 2016’ awards serve to provide a
proud example of the levels of recognition that has come to embody the
qualities displayed throughout high-level entrepreneurship in Italy for the
past 21 years.
Based on journalist and editor Fabio Raffaelli’s idea, the award in Ethiopia
aims to strengthen the great understanding between two countries that clearly
have a great deal in common.
Strongly supported and sustained by the Italian Ambassador in Ethiopia, his
excellency Giuseppe Mistretta (who thus renews his commitment to the growth of
local agriculture and the improvement of consumers’ health), the first edition
of ‘Captains of the Year – Italy-Ethiopia 2016’ focused also and foremost on
the role of Italy and its companies in the wheat supply chain in Africa.
