Water Filter Pump for Jerrycans
At the end of September we were in Ethiopia to present our “what a Bird” for the water sector as part of a business trip (sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy).
We got some good news today. We are with 2 competitors in the category “Startup” in the final of the Innovation Award Münsterland. At the beginning of December we will receive the jury’s decision.
More than 3000 applications from over 120 countries!!!
We are voted in the top 100!
Our product is now certified in Kenya. You can find the corresponding reports on bacteria reduction and water turbidity reduction in “Downloads”.
With our business plan we were able to assert ourselves against almost 60 competitors and won 3rd place and the audience award in the final Gründergeist Münsterland.
We are in the finals with our business plan. Next Friday, January 18th, we will present our company at the Gründergeist Wettbewerb Münsterland.
Directly after our trip to Ghana we went on to Nairobi in Kenya. There we took part in another business trip organized by AHK Kenya and German Water Partnership. Also here the interest was very big and we were able to make some interesting contacts. After the delegation trip we went to Lake Victoria, because so many people still use the water directly from the lake, also to drink. So we could present our #whatabird to the inhabitants of Dunga Bay near Kisumu and show that the water is clear and free of bacteria, if it was pumped through the #whatabird before. With this in mind, many thanks to Patty.
We had a great and a successful time in China. It was a pleasure for us, to meet our suppliers and to visit the factories, where the what-a-bird is made.
We found business partners and new friends!
