ModernETH Opens in Addis Ababa

NEW YORK -- Manny Amare, president and co-founder of Altour Management Technology (AMT), has recently announced the launch of a new technology-focused company, MODETH IT Outsource, PLC (ModernETH). Based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with offices in London and the United States, the vision of ModernETH is two-fold: to provide technological services in Ethiopia, as well as capitalize on the cost-effective, off-shore delivery service model for clients based in the UK and U.S., including those of AMT.

Within the Ethiopian market, ModernETH is dedicated to providing informational, agricultural and import/export technology services. Using information technology solutions, ModernETH aims to help Ethiopian businesses operate at optimal performance by streamlining strategic technology planning, architecture, engineering and provisioning. Innovations via agricultural technology will look to facilitate the modernization of Ethiopias agricultural system, allowing Ethiopian farmers, processors and traders to become more competitive in the marketplace. Finally, import/export technology via ModernETH’s partners will enhance and improve the trade flow of Ethiopia’s trade organizations.

“The task of facilitating the modernization of Ethiopia’s technological extension system is far beyond the capabilities of a single institution,” said Manny Amare, managing partner of ModernETH. “We plan to function as a pace-setter for the industry, developing system designs and models of professional activities. Our hope is to encourage new entrants into the field, thereby fostering further innovation in Ethiopia.”
