TechEmerge Expands to Temperature-Controlled Logistics in Nigeria. unnamed

In early December, TechEmerge will launch an open call for innovators worldwide to bring their sustainable solutions in temperature-controlled logistics (TCL) to Nigeria. The program is being conducted in collaboration with Kobo 360—an e-logistics platform operating across Africa that connects truckers to customers. It offers market access to Africa’s largest economy, and a pool of up to $1 million in funding to top innovators matched with leading Nigerian companies to jointly pilot affordable, sustainable solutions that reduce losses in cold chains, strengthen access to TCL-dependent products and markets, and build commercial partnerships.

IN  CASE YOU MISSED IT!
