Ikenna Nzewi and his team started Releaf  to facilitate the availability of  high-quality raw materials needed by FMCGs and manufacturers. Releaf is an Agrictech company that develops proprietary hardware and software solutions to drive large scale processing and availability of PKO for manufacturers in Africa. Ikenna Nzewi  (CEO), Isaiah Udotong (CGO), and Uzoma Ayogu (CTO), started Releaf as a marketplace  by visiting more than 20 States in Nigeria, buying and selling various agricultural commodities to get clear understanding of how specific value chains function and to  investigate opportunities to develop technology to catalyse their industrialisation.  Their discovery that there are big factories in Nigeria that  are using only  about 30% of their capacity, due to inability to get access to high-quality raw material, such as PKO,  and that many of the companies rely on imported raw material, inspired the team to pivot the di...

Samuel Okwuada and his team created Remedial Health to make it easier for healthcare providers to easily access affordable and genuine retail medicines, consumables and medical devices from manufacturers and distributors.  Remedial Health is an e-health startup that develops solutions to make Africa’s pharmaceutical value chain more efficient and reliable.  Samuel got his business idea through the discovery that every  year, 100,000 deaths  in Africa are linked to counterfeit drug trade and that over 30 percent of medicines sold in Africa are counterfeit.

While   at  AutoGenius, Adebowale Banjo saw the exposure offered by the digital insurance project his team was working on as an opportunity to learn more about the insurance industry in Nigeria.  Despite Nigeria being Africa's most populous country, its insurance penetration rate is among the lowest in the region, currently standing at just 0.5% as of March 2022.

Jumoke Dada started Taeillo to provide homes and businesses with  innovative, affordable furnitures,  created with unique African concepts She got her business idea from an experience she had in her 3rd year at the University of Lagos, where she was studying to earn her bachelor’s degree in Architecture. She had joined her dad, who is an architect, on a construction site. After participating in the building project, she realized that architecture wasn't for her because she had seen one of the biggest buildings anybody would want to be part of in the architectural industry which made her imagine how difficult it would be to advance to the industry’s desired level  In response to that personal puzzle, she made changes and resolved  she will be able to express herself more with interior designs. She started Taeillo by posting furniture designs online without actually having physical ones. She made her first sale on Facebook, which helped her gain validation/...

Nnaemeka's business idea came from a discovery that Nigeria is ranked 100 out of 113 countries on the Global Food Security Index and over 88 million people in the country face food insecurity and 12% are undernourished, not because of lack of food, but due to excess of waste.  It was found that an alarming 40% of the food Nigeria produces every year is lost before it reaches consumers. That’s equal to 31% of  total land use, according to the World Bank, and accounts for 5% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. ColdHub created its proprietary  solar-powered walk-in cold rooms to help provide lasting solution to the problem. The company started  in Owerri, Imo State, with a...
