On 17 June 2019 Quartz reported that China’s Shenzhen, once known mainly for cheap copycat goods, had become a leading hardware and supply partner for Ethiopia’s growing tech startup scene.
The piece, part of a series on China’s global reach, linked Addis Ababa founders to Shenzhen factories and components that made local gadgets and prototypes cheaper to build.
Kept as tech and investment archive, the Quartz story dates Shenzhen’s mid-2019 role in Ethiopia’s startup supply chain.
