"I came to Ethiopia late in 1999 and started my new task in July, 2000. Technology Group started with five companies. Our effort to try to demonstrate the possibility of running or managing several companies under the umbrella of one CEO did work well," recalls Dr Arega Yirdaw, CEO of MIDROC Ethiopia Technology Group.
