Sierra Leone’s High Commissioner to the UK, Dr. Manyeh and senior officials, held talks this week with Mark Ishakov, who is the founder and CEO of ETIOCA, a $27 billion electric car company based in Gibraltar to discuss and explore opportunities to establish a parts manufacturing plant in Sierra Leone. If successful, this multi-million dollar project could see the creation of dozens of jobs by the company in Sierra Leone, where millions of people are without work1.
ETIOCA’s mission is to “build solutions for alternative and sustainable mobility. Our mission is to lead the electric mobility transition, with the largest portfolio of vehicles and services, for professionals and final users, available on the market. That’s why we created a global ecosystem of electric taxis and vehicles with a full range of services built around drivers and passengers, for an unprecedented user experience”.
This is a promising development for Sierra Leone’s economic growth and job creation. The establishment of a parts manufacturing plant by ETIOCA in Sierra Leone could help the country move towards sustainable mobility and create employment opportunities for its citizens.
