CAWEE in collaboration with the US Embassy, organized an engaging event in which the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) program graduates exhibited their products in celebrating the Global Entrepreneurs Week at the US Embassy compound on November 17, 2023. The event featured products of 23 companies, covering diverse sectors. The AWE program is financially and technically supported by the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs of the US Department of State and the US Embassy Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In representing the Executive Director of CAWEE, Nigest Haile (Dr.), Mr. Solomon Wole, AWE Program Facilitator, officially opened the event with welcoming remarks. Participants that were able to showcase their products had the opportunity to promote their businesses, to network and sell their products to the Embassy staff and invited guests. During the event, His Excellency Mr. Ervin Massinga, Ambassador of the United States to Ethiopia, graced the occasion with his presence and visited each company’s booth.
Throughout the event, participants were able to share each other’s business journey and highlighted the tangible benefits gained from the AWE program. The event, beyond exhibiting products, served as a platform for meaningful connections, knowledge exchange, experience sharing and useful engagements.
