From the Innovation Fair, they picked 6 Innovations across the range of; 1. Permaculture 2. Organic Fertilizer 3. Organic Pesticide 4. Biogas 5. Energy Saving Jikos and 6. APIBIO - Products from Bee Keeping.
These six innovations will receive a one year incubation, capacity building and financing worth Kenya Shillings 1.5million each to support their innovations.

As we continue to realize such outcomes and work hard to recalibrate ideas that are life changing and transformative, we remain committed to the fact that even a good thing can be made better.
