Although we didn't win (many congratulations to Jessica Grosvenor who did!) We gained a lot from the experience and developed some valuable contacts who could help us with our aim of electrifying some of the poorest people on the planet. Our solution and vision gained wide praise from the judges who recognised the impact and potential this could have in developing countries around the world.

Many thanks to the Shell LiveWIRE team for organising and supporting us at the event and best of luck with your business/project to all the people we met in London.

In other news, production in Rwanda is in full swing under the direction of Justus Mucyo and his team of workers. We've now completely sold out of our first batch of products and have some exciting deals to be signed over the coming months. We'll keep you posted with any developments from Rwanda or the UK over the coming weeks and months.
