BiTec/ BiT MakerSpace

@Tesfaye_Shi_BDU highly acknowledge your support and encouragement.

BiTec created and printed 3D office names for selected BDU offices with the cooperation of BDU Vice President for Research and Community Services. It's important to note that we're working for the President's office as well as a few other offices in BiT. #CommunityEngagement

BiTec has begun to incubate the selected six company concepts following HCD and Techno-Entrepreneurship training, constant follow up and monitoring of the applicants. The center desire that these ideas will be turned into businesses in the coming months. #bdu60festivity
