" Quadloop is a renewable energy startup that produces solar powered lanterns with an infusion of circularity by using both recycled batteries and plastic waste in the production of our product frame. I met NCIC in 2020 just at the beginning of covid 19 where I was opportune to go through a 6-month virtual incubation program to upskill my self in turning my idea into a full-fledged product. Through the program I received $10,000 in grant funding to scale my idea and today, I have a flag ship product called “Idunnu” which is doing very well in the market. This experience has opened doors for me and increased my investment opportunities. Thanks to NCIC for making my dreams come true as I continue to challenge myself to build climate friendly solutions.

“ We are a proud beneficiary of the CyclePlast project which aims to create value from sustainable waste management through collection, processing, and recycling of plastic bottles. Through this project I was able to scale my operations from the funding we received from NCIC and the equipment we received also for baling our plastic waste. ”

“ At Lumos we convert organic waste into clean and sustainable energy. I was a participant of the NCIC venture development program designed for renewable energy startups where I was trained on various capacity building elements of business management. The training impacted me, and I was able to use embed all knowledge gained into my business and that has led to my success in patenting up to 4 products today with a pilot project currently on going at Federal Government Girls College Abaji where the waste generated by the school is used in powering the school. ”

" My product is a mobile solar powered water pump that provides access to smart irrigation to rural farmers. I went through the Embryo Incubation Program and won a grant of $10,000 to scale my business operations. The program impacted me, and I learnt so much especially around building a sustainable business with a reliable financing model. "
