Exploring the World
Addis Ababa
​
Addis is rich of the very ancient Habosha culture and its is pleasant to explore the very typical habits and meals the city has to offer.
However, Addis faces a lot of structural problems related to ageing government's members that tend to misunderstand new technologies and new economic paradigms. The lack of proper internet access (low infrastructure, data and devices' prices), the government's stranglehold on telecom and financial sectors (monopoly), and lastly the barriers to foreign investments, are significant challenges for Ethiopian business development.
It results in a strong will to leave the country not really to benefit from better conditions overseas, but mostly to live in a country that can look and move forward.
Remarkable places
IceAddis
This coworking space is probably the core of the local ecosystem, dragging entrepreneurs and Non-profit volunteers to its regular events. It’s not that remarkable for the support, yet the community is there.
