DBU and INSA Partner to Launch National Cyber Talent Initiative
Debre Berhan University (DBU) and the Information Network Security Administration (INSA) have held a high-level consultative meeting to formalize a partnership aimed at bolstering Ethiopia's digital sovereignty.
The collaboration aligns with the National Digital Strategy, focusing on several critical pillars including Cyber Talent & Human Capital Development, Cyber Defense and Security, Joint Research and Development (R&D), Innovation, Incubation, and Project Development.
A major outcome of the discussion was the urgency to launch the Ethio-Cyber Talent Summer Camp.
"It is critical to invest in the next generation to produce well-equipped and skilful trainees," noted Dr. Asmare Melese, President of DBU. He committed the university to providing all necessary logistics and facilitation to ensure the program starts immediately.
Mr. Simework Eshetu, INSA’s Division Head of Talent Development, emphasized that this partnership is more than just technical training—it is about shaping the future leaders of the nation’s digital landscape. Beyond the summer camp, both parties agreed to expand their efforts into joint incubation projects and innovation activities.
The meeting was attended by DBU vice presidents, executive directors, and senior leadership, signalling a strong institutional commitment to the partnership.
