Global Startup Awards (GSA) MeOut

Innovation

A few weeks ago, Skill Addis had the privilege of joining an inspiring gathering organized by AAU STARTUPS Center (Addis Ababa University Startups), in collaboration with Tesfa AI and other ecosystem partners.

The event brought together promising startups, experienced business leaders, operators, communication experts, and marketing professionals who shared valuable insights, experiences, and lessons from building and scaling organizations in Ethiopia and beyond.

We were honored to be part of this meaningful gathering alongside other incredible startups, connecting with fellow builders, learning from industry leaders, and exploring ways to collectively strengthen Ethiopia’s innovation ecosystem.

A special thank you to Tesfa AI and Qemer.ai for extending the invitation to Skill Addis and creating an opportunity for collaboration, connection, and knowledge exchange.

At Skill Addis, we believe successful startups are built through more than just ideas and technology. They grow through mentorship, strong networks, business knowledge, market understanding, communication, and communities that support founders throughout their journey.

Building impactful companies takes a village. It requires collaboration between entrepreneurs, mentors, institutions, and ecosystem builders who are committed to creating opportunities for the next generation of innovators.

Thank you to AAU STARTUPS Center, Lebsework Negash, PhD., Tesfa AI and all partners who made this event possible. We look forward to continuing to connect, collaborate, and contribute to a stronger startup ecosystem in Ethiopia.
