our Work
There are various types of work we do either directly, via the subsidiaries we own, or via our Partners. Below are merely a few to serve as context around the various projects and landscapes where we are delivering.
SMART ELECTRONIC ID
Deployment of an official new Smart eID Card across a territory of over 20,000,000 (twenty million) citizens with enhanced features and functions to drive innovation and digitization across the economy: a single Card which may be used for everything from identification through to financial transactions.
VEHICLE ASSEMBLY
Development of Vehicle Manufacturing Capability within Ethiopia to localize a dire need to service a population of over 115,000,000 (one hundred and fifteen million) citizens and an economy on the rise: the only business in Ethiopia with tax-free incentives, access to vehicle finance, access to land, and Government Support.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Delivering on Investment Opportunities within Renewable Energy in aid of developing the Energy Sector to generate the required energy that is needed to drive holistic economic growth: business opportunities are abundant within Ethiopia but has a reliance on energy which is a fundamental catalyst for growth.
NATURAL GAS
Importation of Natural Gas from our South African Office where we have a direct partnership with one of the country’s largest natural gas fields, therefore enabling us to drive immediate value to the citizens and government of Ethiopia: existing challenges related to electricity access is mitigated through the use of natural gas in energy systems being setup to generate additional electricity as required across Ethiopia.
BANK ESTABLISHMENT
Establishing a new bank in Ethiopia with products and services tailored to the requirements of the economy, especially given the historic limitations in providing loans or facilities: with economic growth there is a need for financial instruments and/or services which is why a new portfolio of products will be both needed whilst refreshing to drive value to all – new purchases relating to properties and vehicles will see the most benefit.
TAXI SERVICE
Enabling the largest Taxi Business in Ethiopia to build a fleet of vehicles through unique drive-and-own or drive-and-earn operating models, ultimately assisting with safer and adequate vehicles being used by citizens on their travels, and drivers to generate revenue: with an extensive population of over one hundred million citizens, a newer and safer taxi service will be of great service to all, including government for taxes.
