Connecting Medium Enterprises to the Digital Future and Creating Jobs Along the Way
Through the Digital Market Linkage Lab (DMLL), we're empowering 19 medium enterprises in Hawassa from agro-processing to services to grow digitally, expand market reach, and create jobs. Each enterprise receives tailored digital support from experts and trained youth, focusing on content, platforms, customer engagement, and digital lending awareness.
This initiative is led by Orbit Innovation Hub through the SEED Program, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation and a consortium led by the Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI), Ethiopian Aviation University (EAU), Hope Enterprises, and American college of Technology (ACT).
We’re building a more connected and resilient business ecosystem
