We are extremely excited to announce that last Tuesday, Cohort 2 of our Pre-Accelerator Programme graduated! We cannot believe how fast time has passed and we have already reached the end of the programme. We could not be more proud of the 8 start-ups that we got the chance to work with over the past 4-5 months. All of them have given their best and we have seen them grow exponentially – both as individuals as well as their businesses.

Highlights of the start-ups in Cohort 2:

Adwak Palm Oil did her second production of cholesterol-free palm oil, which sold out almost directly after production. She is currently preparing for her next production.
