Ethiopia's startup ecosystem holds immense potential, but it has been held back by fragmentation, limited access to funding, and the need for stronger policy support. The Ethiopian Association of Start-up Ecosystem (EASE) was founded by dedicated members who recognized these challenges. For three years we have brought together startups, business support organizations, policymakers, and investors to build a connected, thriving ecosystem.
Browse open programs from Ethiopia's leading accelerators and incubators — and apply directly on EASE.
