As part of the program, the team toured several university facilities, including the WRU Data Center, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Lab, and STEM Center. They also visited Dijo Medium Enterprise and the Enset Cluster in Shilimat Kebele, Alicho Wuriro Woreda, where they observed community-based production activities.

The discussions also focused on ways to strengthen student entrepreneurship, support university-based incubation programs, expand digital skills training, and promote applied research, particularly in digital health innovation.

The visit provided an opportunity for both institutions to exchange ideas, identify areas of shared interest, and explore practical ways to work together. It also marks a positive step toward building a partnership that connects university research and knowledge with industry experience.

 Through this collaboration, Werabe University and Orbit Innovation Hub seek to create more opportunities for students and researchers, encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, and turn new ideas into solutions that contribute to community and national development.
