The move gained momentum with a recent visit by a delegation of Indian technology companies to the Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute, a key pillar of the country’s national innovation system, according to the Ethiopian News Agency on March 23. The cooperation falls under the “Digital Ethiopia 2030” strategy, which aims to integrate emerging technologies into priority sectors of the economy. During the visit, Indian stakeholders—particularly from ICT, agriculture, and digital services—held discussions with Ethiopian counterparts on practical AI applications. Authorities are seeking to build sustainable national capabilities by training talent, developing pilot projects, and investing in robust digital infrastructure. The Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute plays a central role in this effort, leading AI initiatives and facilitating international partnerships.
