Introduction
We are delighted to share that Sunwave Limited recently participated in the WWBA Assembly 2024, held on September 5th and 6th. This premier event brought together investors and entrepreneurs dedicated to fostering innovation and supporting female-led businesses across the continent. The assembly provided an exceptional platform for us to present our vision and solutions to a distinguished audience, furthering our mission to empower small-scale fishers and fish sellers with sustainable, solar-powered ice technology.
Pitching Our Vision
At the WWBA Assembly 2024, our team had the opportunity to pitch Sunwave Limited to a diverse group of investors and industry leaders. We highlighted the pressing challenges faced by coastal communities due to the lack of affordable, food-grade ice and how our solar-powered ice machines offer an effective and environmentally friendly solution. Our presentation underscored the impact of our technology on reducing fish spoilage, improving income stability for vendors, and promoting sustainable practices within the fishing industry.
Networking and Investor Interest
The two-day event was not only about pitching but also about building meaningful connections. We engaged in productive networking sessions where we discussed potential collaborations and partnerships. Numerous investors expressed strong interest in our innovative approach and its scalability across Africa. These interactions have opened doors to new opportunities for funding and support, which are crucial for accelerating our growth and expanding our reach to more communities in need.
Conclusion
Our participation in the WWBA Assembly 2024 has energized our team and reinforced the value of our work. We are currently following up on the investor interest garnered during the event and exploring avenues to secure additional funding. These resources will enable us to enhance our technology, scale our operations, and make a more significant impact on the livelihoods of small-scale fishers and fish sellers. We remain committed to our mission and are excited about the future collaborations and developments that lie ahead.
