This pioneering initiative aims to address critical urban challenges while supporting the nation’s drive towards sustainable development and economic growth.
Led by visionary Founder and CEO Daniel Tsegaye, Aries Investment is breaking new ground with its multi-faceted project designed to optimise urban space and enhance mobility infrastructure in Ethiopia. This project comes at a pivotal time for the country, as government policies aim to phase out fuel-powered vehicles and promote environmentally friendly alternatives. “Our mission is to create an infrastructure that not only meets today’s needs but anticipates future trends in urban mobility,” Tsegaye elaborated. “This project is a testament to how private enterprise can support national sustainability goals.”
Ethiopia is witnessing a surge in demand for clean and efficient transportation systems, following its policy to ban fuel car imports. This shift necessitates the rapid development of electric vehicle infrastructure. “Ethiopia lacks commercial EV charging stations in major cities like Addis Ababa,” Tsegaye noted. “By installing integrated EV charging and parking towers, we are aligning with the government’s vision for a greener future and smart urban solutions.”
The expected impacts of the project are wide-ranging and transformative. Environmentally, it is projected to substantially lower carbon emissions, with estimates suggesting a reduction of 30,000 metric tons annually. “Our approach directly combats air pollution and inefficient space use in high-density areas,” explained Tsegaye. Economically, the project promises significant job creation throughout its construction, operational, and maintenance phases, contributing substantial economic value.
Strategic partnerships are at the heart of Aries Investment’s strategy. The collaboration with Addis Ababa’s City Administration Transport Bureau exemplifies public-private synergies. Additionally, Aries is engaging with global technical partners to integrate world-class technologies into its infrastructure initiatives. “Building these partnerships is crucial for the project’s success,” stated Tsegaye. “We are in active discussions with international investors, aiming to enhance the project’s scope and impact, while leveraging best-in-class technologies.”
Aries Investment is deeply committed to involving local communities, ensuring that developments align with local needs and aspirations. By fostering a culture of collaboration, the project is set to bolster local economies and promote sustainable practices. The company is also reinforcing its engagement with investors, ensuring transparency and aligning with global green investment goals. “We are integrating investor-friendly structures and creating exit strategies through platforms like IPOs to provide confidence and security for our partners,” said Tsegaye.
Founded with a vision for sustainable innovation, Aries Investment has emerged as a leader in green infrastructure projects in Ethiopia. The company continues to drive economic growth and environmental stewardship through its commitment to cutting-edge technology and sustainable development practices.
