Entrepreneurs profile for short, is by leaps and bounds, the most popular of Capital’s inside pages. It is not at all surprising considering that since it was added to Capital’s increasingly diverse and eclectic menu nearly two years ago, scores of entrepreneurs representing virtually all sectors of economic endeavor have been profiled.
This has been much to the benefit of our wide readership, from which regular feedback informs us that EP has been a source of inspiration. This being precisely our objective in introducing Ep, we are delighted that the page has been a resounding success. This fact not least, has also been greatly appreciated by the profiled entrepreneurs. Many of them have contacted us with news of how EP
has helped them promote their respective businesses - not only domestically but also globally, given that www.capitalethiopia.com is one of the most popular sites originating from Ethiopia.
Capital, as it marks 10 years of business journalism, looks forward to hosting more dynamic entrepreneurs. Readers are always welcome to nominate potential Ep candidates. Contact us by P.O.Box: 95 Code 1110 or email at syscom@ethionet.et .
