Ethiopost, the national postal service, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ethiopian Space Science & Geospatial Institute (SSGI) to modernize its delivery services, aiming to integrate advanced mapping and satellite technology into Ethiopost's logistics framework. By incorporating updated maps, Ethiopost seeks to improve door-to-door delivery services towards faster and more reliable delivery times. At the signing ceremony last week, Ethiopost CEO Dagmawi Hailiye stressed the transformative potential of this collaboration, stating that it will modernize postal services and substantially improve Ethiopia's logistics sector. Established in 1894, Ethiopost recently became a portfolio company of Ethiopian Investment Holdings. Abdissa Yilma, director general of SSGI, pointed to the national importance of leveraging space technology to drive innovation and infrastructure development. The autonomous federal institute was established in 2022 through the merger of the former Ethiopian Science & Technology Institute (ESSTI) and the Geospatial Information Institute (GII).
