Orange的风险投资部门正在投资一家埃塞俄比亚的初创公司,该公司计划在整个非洲开发用于电信和电子商务的软件人才。

 

Orange表示将把Gebeya公司介绍给其在非洲现有的商业伙伴关系,并支持其在讲法语的非洲国家的扩张。

 

非洲Orange Digital Ventures(ODV)的MarièmeDiop(如图)表示:“过去五年来,非洲有超过60%的由风险投资支持的科技初创公司在创建,我们的生态系统发展非常迅速,投资正在迅速增长。人才差距仍然更大。”

 

对于奥兰治来说,这是一笔适时的投资,随着政府向竞争开放市场,奥兰治有望对埃塞俄比亚的一项新电信牌照产生兴趣。

 

ODV说,在过去的三年中,Gebeya已经培训了600多名新技术人才,其中45%已经被安排就业。

 

Diop说:“技能短缺是初创企业成功利用新技术力量的关键障碍。”

 

Orange说,Gebeya正在积极应对非洲青年失业率的上升,并在国际金融公司(世界银行的一部分)的帮助下,向有抱负的女性软件工程师提供免费奖学金,以消除科学,技术,工程和数学。

 

Diop表示:“在ODV非洲,我们很高兴为勤奋的Gebeya团队提供支持,并坚信他们有能力建立合适且可持续的真正有才华的非洲工程师队伍,以满足全球未来的技能需求。”

 

ODV没有透露对Gebeya进行了多少投资,这在埃塞俄比亚的阿姆哈拉语中是“市场”。

 

但是,Gebeya的创始人兼首席执行官Amadou Daffe表示:“这项投资将为实施几项重大变革提供支持,这对于初创公司而言是决定性的时刻。它将使初创企业为未来的增长做好准备,并实现其通过技术赋予非洲权力的愿景。”

 

根据Daffe在LinkedIn上的条目,“ Gebeya是一个自我可持续的生态系统,结合了原始的实践培训模型,该模型塑造了下一代非洲有才华的软件开发人员,为他们提供全球就业机会和企业家精神,以在非洲建立创新型初创企业。换句话说,我们正在建立一个自我维持的生态系统,以培训,雇用和培养非洲最好的人才。”

Orange invests in Ethiopian telecoms and e-commerce start-up

 

The venture arm of Orange is investing in an Ethiopian start-up that plans to develop software talent across Africa for telecoms and e-commerce.

 

Orange said it will introduce the company, Gebeya, to its existing commercial partnerships across Africa and support its expansion in French-speaking African countries.

 

Marième Diop (pictured) of Orange Digital Ventures (ODV) Africa said: “With more than 60% of VC-backed tech start-ups in Africa created in the last five years, our ecosystem is growing very fast and investments are booming, yet the talent gap remains wider.”

 

It is a well-timed investment for Orange, which is expected to be interested in one of Ethiopia’s new telecoms licences, as the government opens up the market to competition.

 

In the last three years, Gebeya has trained over 600 new tech talents, 45% of whom have already been placed for employment, said ODV.

 

“Skills shortage is a critical barrier to start-ups successfully exploiting the power of new technologies,” said Diop.

 

Orange said that Gebeya is actively addressing rising youth unemployment in Africa and with the help of the International Finance Corporation – part of the World Bank – it is providing free scholarships to aspiring female software engineers, combatting gender disparity in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

 

“At ODV Africa, we are happy to support the hardworking Gebeya team and strongly believe in their ability to build the appropriate and sustainable pipeline of really talented African engineers to meet future skills needs on a global scale,” said Diop.

 

ODV did not disclose how much it is investing in Gebeya, which means “marketplace” in Ethiopia’s Amharic language.

 

But Amadou Daffe, Gebeya’s founder and CEO, said: “This investment will support the implementation of several vital changes a decisive time for the start-up. It will allow the start-up to gear up for future growth and implement its vision to Empower Africa through Technology.”

 

According to Daffe’s LinkedIn entry, “Gebeya is a self-sustainable ecosystem that combines an original practical training model that shapes the next generation of talented African software developers for global job opportunities and entrepreneurship to build innovative start-ups in Africa. In other words, we are building a self-sustained ecosystem that trains, hires and incubates the best of African talent.”
