The U.S Embassy Addis Ababa hosted a special event in Addis Ababa highlighting advanced technologies and its growing impact on security and governance in Ethiopia with Troy Group, a trusted U.S. manufacturer of secure printing solutions.
The event, held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, brought together senior Ethiopian officials from federal and regional government agencies to explore how U.S.-based Troy Group’s high-security printers, forgery-resistant inks, and document authentication software can further enhance the integrity of official documents.
Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Naomi Fellows joined Mark Bond, Sales Director for Troy Group, and key Ethiopian dignitaries at the event. Mr. Bond provided welcoming remarks, followed by a technology demonstration led by Million Teshome, Manager at BIZET General Trading PLC, Troy’s official partner in Ethiopia.

Its technologies are globally recognized for their reliability and effectiveness in safeguarding official credentials. By partnering with U.S.-based Troy Group, Ethiopia is taking significant steps towards strengthening its institutional modernization goals, promoting transparent governance, and advancing its digital transformation efforts.
