Documents over decks

ABOUT
Built for the way this region actually works.
tiliQ Plc was founded to address a structural gap in Ethiopia's commercial landscape. Strong international brands, public buyers, telecoms, banks, and hospitals all converge on the same complex opportunities — but very few local partners can carry an opportunity through every stage from intelligence to representation, distribution, partnership, and execution. tiliQ exists to be that partner.
WHY WE EXIST
Why we exist.
Ethiopia and East Africa reward partners who combine local credibility with the discipline of a serious commercial organisation. Most local agencies sell time and creative. Most consulting firms sell decks. tiliQ Plc sells structured market access — a combination of representation, distribution, deal structuring, and ecosystem execution that turns institutional opportunities into long-term revenue.
We work where institutional buyers, regulators, telecoms, banks, hospitals, ministries, and donor partners meet — structuring the partnerships, distribution, and proposals that turn complex opportunities into operating revenue.
MISSION
To help local and international organisations build big successes in Ethiopia and East Africa — by structuring the partnerships, distribution, and institutional access required to operate at scale.
VISION
To become East Africa's most trusted strategic market development and commercial representation house — the partner of record for organisations entering, scaling, and integrating across the region's most important sectors.

WHY ETHIOPIA, WHY EAST AFRICA
A market the world cannot ignore.
Ethiopia is the second-most populous country in Africa, the seat of the African Union, and the anchor of an integrating East African market of more than 300 million people.
Its policy direction in energy transition, digital inclusion, healthcare modernisation, and electric mobility is creating an unusually large pipeline of institutional opportunities. The Djibouti–Addis logistics corridor, the regional power pool, and the convergence of telecom, banking, and digital infrastructure mean that an organisation that wins in Ethiopia is well-positioned to scale across East Africa.
- National EV transition and grid-to-vehicle integration creating fast-charging and infrastructure demand.
- Telecom liberalisation creating space for value-added services, fintech, and device financing.
- Healthcare modernisation creating demand for Health-FinTech, equipment, and ecosystem programmes.
- East African Community trade integration creating a single regional opportunity.
- Donor and development capital channelled through structured procurement at scale.
"Organisations that establish credibility in Ethiopia have a structural advantage when scaling into Kenya, Djibouti, Sudan, and the wider region."
- 300M+
- East African addressable population
- 2nd
- Most populous nation in Africa
- 1
- Strategic gateway: Djibouti–Addis corridor
