Ethiopia. Ready for Your Team.
A fully built facility in Addis Ababa. Access to one of Africa's largest young workforces — median age 19, rapidly English-proficient. And a BPO sector already operating at scale.
A fully built facility in Addis Ababa. Access to one of Africa's largest young workforces — median age 19, rapidly English-proficient. And a BPO sector already operating at scale.
Ethiopia's BPO sector is already running — 25+ registered companies, ~15,000 employees, and a government actively backing expansion.
English is the medium of instruction from secondary school onward. Graduates communicate in the business English global CX operations require.
128 million people, median age 19, fed by a fast-growing training ecosystem (Gebeya, ALX Ethiopia, Digital Opportunity Trust). Hiring isn't the bottleneck.
Generator and UPS capacity for full facility load. Redundant internet. Solved at the building level — before you move in.
One hour from Dubai, two to three from London. Day shifts cover EMEA. Local teams work through midnight for the Americas — standard practice here, no night-shift surcharge.
Follow-the-sun coverage without the follow-the-sun price.
A meaningfully lower cost base than the Philippines, India, Kenya, Egypt, or South Africa — the same fundamentals, without decades of price appreciation already baked in.
Addis Ababa runs on East Africa Time (UTC+3) year-round. Mapped against a standard Addis working day (7:00-18:00 local), here's how much of each region's business day overlaps.
Follow-the-sun coverage without the follow-the-sun price.
Ethiopian Airlines flies direct to 145+ destinations. Your leadership, auditors, and clients can be here same-day from Dubai, overnight from Europe, or with one connection from the US East Coast.
English is the business language. The workforce understands global CX standards because they consume the same media, apps, and brands your customers do. Training time is shorter. Quality alignment is faster.
