The ASTU-EDC runs an Stratup program that supports aspiring entrepreneurs at the earliest stage of technological innovation. The program helps them transform their ideas into commercial products and create successful business ventures in Ethiopia. By taking on a large portion of the risk at this early stage, where commercial funding is scarce, the ASTU-Incubation provides entrepreneurs with physical premises, financial resources for prototype development, tools, professional guidance, and administrative assistance. This way, during their stay in the incubator, they can turn their abstract ideas into proven feasibility, novelty, and advantage products that are in demand in the national and international markets.
