From Idea to Enterprise

Emmanuel Nabila’s entrepreneurial journey in aquaculture began with a compelling idea: a solar-powered aquarium system designed to efficiently drain, distill, and recycle water, significantly minimizing waste. Through the Youth Innovators Circles (YIC), Emmanuel developed his concept, actively engaging in peer learning, attending specialized workshops, and refining his pitch. The mentorship received through YIC was instrumental in transforming his innovative idea into a viable enterprise. As a testament to his progress, Emmanuel has successfully employed 16 individuals, including himself, highlighting the direct job creation impact of this project from idea to a thriving operation.

At just nineteen, Joshua Yeboah is making a remarkable impact in his community by addressing everyday challenges with innovative solutions. After observing the environmental harm and high costs associated with fuel-powered water pumps, particularly for rural farmers, he developed a more sustainable and affordable alternative: the J.Y Solar Water Pump. With mentorship and funding secured through winning the top prize at the YIC Pitch and Demo Day in the Ashanti Region, Joshua successfully transformed his early prototypes into a fully functional solution.
