About Mekenet

Mekenet is an Addis Ababa-based insurance technology company that describes itself as Ethiopia's first open insurance platform. Its customer app lets people browse licensed Ethiopian insurers, compare policies and buy cover in minutes, with self-service available around the clock.

Behind the app, insurers run on Mekenet's core insurance and ERP system and use Mekenet Fraud AI to defend against fraudulent claims. The company frames this as a three-sided platform where customers, insurers and regulators meet on one digital backbone. It says more than 18 insurers are ready on the platform, that it is licensed by the National Bank of Ethiopia and that it is aligned with ISO 27001.
