Ethiopian technology startup OrbiX Technologies PLC launched its multi-sector digital platform , introducing a unified ecosystem designed to connect urban mobility, municipal infrastructure, civic reporting, and tourism services across Ethiopia. The announcement was made during a press briefing held yesterday on thursday at the company’s premises.

The platform marks a structural departure from traditional, single-purpose mobile applications. Rather than treating services in isolation, OrbiX brings everyday urban operations into a single digital environment where routine user interactions generate data for municipal planning and service optimization.

The initial launch unifies four main operational pillars into this single network. Its Smart Parking module replaces attendant-driven operations with a self-service model that allows drivers to locate, reserve, and pay for parking in under 30 seconds.

Alongside parking, the OrbiX EV component manages charging station discovery, real-time availability tracking, and digital payments to support Ethiopia’s national goal of deploying 2,230 EV charging stations nationwide.

This mobility framework links directly with civic management through iHub, a tool enabling residents to report road damage, utility issues, and vehicle collisions with photo and location evidence, turning public feedback into tracked agency workflows.

Completing the interconnected setup, the Ethio Parks module digitizes national destinations and historical sites, offering booking and navigation tools for domestic tourists and international delegates attending events like UN COP32.

“Our ambition is not simply to put existing services on a smartphone,” said Founder and CEO Seyoum Tesfay. “We want to build an ecosystem where services connect, information becomes actionable and technology helps people and institutions make better decisions.”

OrbiX Technologies PLC is an Ethiopian startup building homegrown intellectual property to drive digital transformation. The firm focuses on creating scalable software systems that unify people, infrastructure, and public institutions to build connected, data-driven cities aligned with the Digital Ethiopia 2030 strategy.
