Introduction
In Ethiopia, there are some great entrepreneurs and business owners who have created businesses that have the potential to change the world. In this article, we will talk about 10 tech startups in Ethiopia that you should know about and how they are changing Ethiopia’s business landscape.
Appointfix
Appointfix is a platform for appointment booking. It helps users find a doctor, dentist or any other service provider in their area through an easy-to-use interface. The app is available on Android and iOS devices.
Appointfix was founded by Amru Ahmed and Abdikadir Michael with the aim of making healthcare services accessible to everyone in Ethiopia's capital city Addis Ababa.

Sheba Medical
The Sheba Medical Center is a private hospital in Ethiopia that is the largest facility of its kind in Africa. Founded in 1937, it has more than 500 beds and provides services to medical professionals worldwide.

Sheba Medical has been named one of the best hospitals in Africa by Global Health Magazine and was ranked as one of Africa's most reliable health care providers by Global Brands Alliance (GBA).
Blue Moon
Blue Moon is a mobile app that helps users find the nearest toilet. It uses geo-location technology, in addition to crowdsourcing data from public toilets, to provide users with information about where they can go. This helps them avoid potentially dangerous situations and reduces their chance of getting sick while using public restrooms.
Blue Moon has developed a partnership with the Ethiopian government to provide sanitation and hygiene education for people across Ethiopia's schools and public places. The company also works with local nonprofits on projects like changing out water sources for drinking water so that women don't needlessly expose themselves or their children during menstruation periods (which can lead up health complications).
Skyeye
Skyeye is a drone company that provides aerial imagery and data analytics services to customers in agriculture, mining, and construction industries. The startup was founded by Ethiopian-American entrepreneur Mohamed Semerena in 2016 and is headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Skyeye's drones help farmers monitor their crops year-round while helping construction companies locate underground infrastructure faster than ever before.
Locally created content
Content is the king. It's something that can be created by anyone and it has a wide reach.
Content can be used to promote any business, whether it's yours or someone else's. It doesn't matter if you're an Ethiopian entrepreneur or an international corporation; your content will always be relevant and up-to-date because you're telling real stories about what's happening in your country today!
Zemen Bank mobile app
Zemen is a mobile banking app that allows users to check their balances, make transfers and pay bills. It also allows users to check their account details, view transactions and check their balance.
The company has been in operation since 2011 but it took off when they partnered with Vodafone to offer the service in Ethiopia in 2016.
Ebsaa
Ebsaa is a digital financial services company that provides mobile money, payment and micro-insurance services to the underserved in Ethiopia. The company was founded in 2013 by a group of young entrepreneurs with a mission to improve the lives of the underserved.
Ebsaa's goal is to provide financial inclusion through innovative technology solutions that enable people like farmers and traders who don't have access to traditional banking institutions or credit cards from abroad, but still need access to basic financial services such as mobile money transfer or insurance coverage for health emergencies.

Conclusion
This is a great initiative and it’s worth mentioning that it’s not just a conversation about technology, but also about how we can use it to improve our lives in ways that aren’t necessarily obvious. I think we can all agree on the fact that we want our cities to be more inclusive, as well as sustainable, so hopefully this will give people an idea of what they can do with their own technology!
