๐ŸŒ Strengthening Ethiopiaโ€“Saudi Arabia Startup Collaboration ๐Ÿค

As part of her working visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, EYEA President Samiya Abdulkadir Godu met with H.E. Dr. Muktar Kedir Abdu, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This high-level discussion focused on:
โœ… Expanding Ethiopiaโ€™s startup diplomacy through new global frontiers
โœ… Exploring the potential for EYEA to franchise in Saudi Arabia
โœ… Fostering Ethiopiaโ€“Saudi startup exchange, ecosystem collaboration, and youth innovation
โœ… Creating pathways for Ethiopian startups to engage with Saudi Arabiaโ€™s dynamic entrepreneurship landscape

๐Ÿ“˜ During the meeting, President Samiya officially handed over EYEAโ€™s Strategic Document (EYEA 2027) to the Ambassador โ€” a roadmap outlining our bold vision to empower youth entrepreneurs and expand our impact nationwide and globally.

Saudi Arabiaโ€™s thriving innovation ecosystem under Vision 2030 aligns with EYEAโ€™s mission of enabling youth-driven change through cross-border collaboration, policy advocacy, and opportunity creation.

We thank Ambassador H.E. Dr. Muktar Kedir for his warm welcome and continued support in advancing Ethiopian youth entrepreneurship beyond borders.

The future of entrepreneurship is global โ€” and Ethiopia is ready to lead. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿš€
