This powerful statement encapsulates the core of our mission at the Ethiopian Entrepreneurs Association. Since the inception of our center, we have been striving to create a conducive entrepreneurial ecosystem in Ethiopia, one that leverages the country’s two most abundant resources—its youth and its agricultural sector. This strategic focus is the key to driving Ethiopia toward sustainable growth and prosperity.

We firmly believe that the future of our nation depends on how effectively we utilize these resources. Agricultural entrepreneurship is not just a concept—it is the key to sustainable farming. By unlocking the potential of both our land and our youth, we can address the growing population’s food security needs while simultaneously promoting widespread economic development. The integration of these two sectors will provide the foundation for a more prosperous Ethiopia.

We commend the focus on empowering millions of smallholder farmers and landless youth—who form the backbone of our economy. These groups require our support to engage in entrepreneurial ventures that increase agricultural productivity, improve livelihoods, and gain access to high-value markets. This will enhance their income and contribute to a more resilient and diversified economy.

Our center wholeheartedly supports the vision of all Ethiopian Entrepreneurs by facilitating connections among entrepreneurs and relevant stakeholders. We are committed to working alongside all partners who share our dedication to bringing about lasting change and fostering a brighter future for Ethiopia.

Let us remember, as the saying goes, “If either the agriculture or the youth goes wrong, nothing else will have a chance to go right.” Together, we can ensure that these two pillars of our economy remain strong, setting the stage for a prosperous future.
