Ethiopian edtech platform, Gebeya has set plans in motion to expand to Senegal, as they target the untapped francophone markets. This plan to expand is backed by the fact that Senegal was the first location for Coders4Africa (C4A). Gebeya plans to use the expansion as an opportunity to train tech professionals and create employment in Senegal.

According to Gebeya Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and co-founder Amadou Daffe, “Senegal is the ideal landscape for tech companies as it is home to numerous hubs dedicated to tech advancements. The majority of the population is under the age of 25, which signifies energy and capacity to thrive in the economy.”

Co-founder Hiruy Amanuel also said they are very excited to continue to explore countries in Africa to see what they have to offer as regards to technology services in different sectors.

Gebeya was launched in 2016 to create self-supporting community grants for African IT talents. The platform thrives via training, hiring, and mentorship programs. They plan to create a new employee market that will connect experienced tech professionals with the companies and startups that need them. Gebeya intends to train 5,000 students in Ethiopia by 2021. They are currently present in Ethiopia, Kenya UK, and the US.
