In March 5th, 2024, we came together in Addis Ababa with the Innovation Journey (IJ) team and our Ethiopia-based partners with representatives of over 30 organizations from the private and public sectors in Ethiopia. This gathering was providing a unique opportunity to delve into the dynamic Israeli ag-tech market, exchange insights, and forge valuable connections with like-minded peers.

The IJ program is an opportunity for cutting edge Israeli ag-tech companies and Ethiopian agriculture ecosystem stakeholders to engage with one another and explore partnerships for piloting innovative technologies, with the goal of bringing value to Ethiopia’s agriculture market and small/medium-scale farmers.
 

IJ is an initiative of JDC's TOV agricultural development program, which leverages Israeli technology and know-how to transform the lives of small-scale farmers in Ethiopia. IJ will complement the expansion of the TOV program in Ethiopia as it works with additional partners, in more regions, and reaches more farmers.
