ECOBORA – winner of Unleash+ 2020 Dragon’s Den.
Renetech partner ECOBORA of Kenya made it all the way at the Dragon’s Den finals of the 14 week Unleash+ Accelerator program. CEO Justine Abuga states:
“I was fortunate to be accepted to participate in Unleash program back in 2018 in Singapore which was a general program focusing on how we can harness leadership and innovation to tackle the SDGs. Joining UNLEASH+ program this year -virtually- was a different experience since we spent 14 weeks diving deep into our business aspects from problem to solution to marketing to fundraising. These were specific deep thought sessions which allowed our team to immerse wholesomely to test and refine our business model. At the end we pitched our innovations and Ecobora team was selected to compete in the Dragon’s Den, where we were lucky to win $10,000 prizes from Hempel foundation and Porticus. With this support we shall support Gekomoni secondary school in Kenya to shift to our solar cooking boilers!”
