Startup Safari Sauna: Finnish and Ethiopian entrepreneurs work together to build the startup ecosystem
Startup Safari Sauna brings together entrepreneurs for two days of coaching, competition, and collaboration at iceaddis.
ADDIS ABABA – What does it take to launch and sustain a successful start up - particularly in an emerging market such as Ethiopia? Startup Sauna, the leading startup accelerator in Northern Europe, will explore this question in Addis Ababa March 21st-22nd. The event is hosted by iceaddis and the Embassy of Finland.
During the Sauna Safari event, startups will get valuable feedback and advice from international and local coaches who are experienced serial entrepreneurs and investors. Ethiopian entrepreneurs will have the chance to exchange knowledge and network with business coaches from Finland. For the Finnish coaches, this event is a unique opportunity for insights into the unique Ethiopian startup ecosystem. Featured speakers will discuss legal and financial planning, PR strategy, and other topics that are essential to scaling a startup business. The events are free and open for everyone registered.
Through their participation in this event, these companies are now short-listed for a place in Startup Sauna's prestigious accelerator program taking place in Finland in May 2016.
Iceaddis has collaborated with Finnish initiatives before, such as the green innovation bootcamp and Slush in 2014 and 2015. The Startup Sauna Safari event is a natural way forward to build strong ties for future collaboration between Ethiopian and Finnish startups and business world. The event also boosts the local entrepreneurship scene.
