UNDP partners with Ethiopia’s industry ministry to launch pan-African tech hub
- Launch of Timbuktoo ManuTech Hub in Addis Ababa.
- Hub to support African startups with funding, mentorship, and technical resources.
- First cohort of startups to be welcomed in early 2025.
The establishment of the Timbuktoo ManuTech Hub is a strategic move that could potentially address some of the challenges faced by Ethiopia's manufacturing sector. However, the success of this initiative will largely depend on the government's ability to effectively implement training programs and attract skilled professionals to meet the demands of the industry. Continuous monitoring and support will be crucial to ensure that the hub fulfills its objectives and contributes to the overall economic growth of the region.
