About Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI)
The Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI) Ethiopia is an autonomous institution reporting to the Ministry of Labor and Skills (MOLS), established in 2021. EDI aims to promote the emergence of a vibrant, competitive, and innovative private sector, focusing on a strong SME segment. It offers a comprehensive package of entrepreneurship support programs, including ecosystem and capacity building, access to finance, market linkage, and business incubation and acceleration services.

Additionally, EDI supports the development of private-sector manufacturing and service industries across the country, aiming to improve the competitiveness of existing Medium, Small, and Micro Enterprises (MSMEs) and to support the growth of new enterprises, ultimately promoting improved entrepreneurship and decent employment ecosystems for sustainable economic growth and the creation of more job opportunities for youths and women.
About SEED Program
The Sustainable Employment through Entrepreneurship & Enterprise Development (SEED) Program is designed to enable young women and men to access dignified work through relevant skill enhancement, and entrepreneurship and enterprise development. In the next five years, a total of 1 million young people (80% young women and 10% vulnerable groups – homeless and internally displaced youth) will be enabled to find dignified work in 231,000 enterprises (205,000 new and 25,000 existing micro enterprises as well as 1,000 innovative startups).
SEED will be led by Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI), a quasi-government entity, along with partners such as American College of Technology (ACT), eHealth IT Services PLC (Orbit Health and Orbit Innovation Hub), Hope Enterprises, and Ethiopian Aviation Academy (EAA), member of the Ethiopian Airlines Group.

The program aims to support the advancement of education and youth employment by capacitating 100 TVTs through introducing transformative operational business models, enabling TVT leaders, standardizing TVT management systems, supporting the establishment and operationalization of business incubation centers, embedding/strengthening entrepreneurship programs in TVTs, supporting development of demand-driven and quality training programs, supporting linkages essential for cooperation and collaboration for TVTs to become self-reliant, entrepreneurial, and a go-to-space for entrepreneurs to learn, test their ideas and grow their businesses.
