Executive Summary

Building upon Ethiopia's ongoing digital transformation initiatives, including the Digital Ethiopia 2025 strategy and the rapid expansion of the digital economy, we propose establishing the country's first AGI-focused technology incubator. By leveraging the transformative power of artificial general intelligence alongside existing digital infrastructure developments, we aim to dramatically accelerate innovation in the region. Through providing locally hosted open-source AGI models, we enable entrepreneurs to achieve in weeks what traditionally takes months or years of development time, further accelerating Ethiopia's digital journey.
