We recently witnessed a powerful moment of celebration and reflection at the SEED Project graduation ceremony in Axum. This wasn't just a graduation; it was a testament to the strength of the entrepreneurial spirit in a post-conflict context.
Girum Assefa, COO of Orbit Innovation Hub, opened the event by highlighting the incredible transformation of our trainees. They entered the program with raw ideas and graduated as resilient CEOs with tangible Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) ready for the market.
The ceremony underscored the importance of collective effort:
Economic Recovery: Goitom, Dean of Axum TVET College, emphasized how these initiatives are vital for revitalizing youth spirit and driving Axum’s economic recovery.
Strategic Partnership: H.E. Ato Abebe, Vice Mayor of Axum, commended Orbit Innovation Hub for our commitment to post-war communities and reaffirmed the city’s full support for future collaborations.
We are deeply grateful to the Axum City Administration, Axum TVET College, and the local entrepreneurial community. Together, we are building a more resilient future.
