BIOWAX GHANA LTD is excited to be named among the winners of the Kosmos Innovation Center AgriTech Challenge Classic 2024 and is honored to receive a $2,000 traction fund to support the growth and sustainability of our business.
This recognition marks a key milestone in our journey and strengthens our commitment to transforming agriculture in Ghana. As part of the winning group, this traction fund will enable BIOWAX to scale our innovative edible wax solution, which extends the shelf life of perishable produce like tomatoes. With this funding, we will enhance our production capacity, improve our product, and create meaningful job opportunities for rural farmers, market women, and unemployed youth in Ghana.
We are incredibly grateful to Kosmos Innovation Center, along with its partners, including the Mastercard Foundation, Kosmos Energy, Cargill, and the Design Thinking and Innovation Hub, for their continued mentorship and support. The traction fund will help us gain the momentum we need to build and expand, ensuring we make a lasting impact on the agricultural sector.
As we move toward the 2025 AgriTech Challenge PRO, we are more motivated than ever to help reduce post-harvest losses, improve livelihoods, and contribute to sustainable farming practices in Ghana and beyond.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments as we continue on this incredible journey toward a brighter, more sustainable future! Our Co-founders Peter Kwame Afry, Emelia Addy, Patience Dotse, and Hajara Donkoh extend their heartfelt gratitude for the guidance and support in shaping and refining our idea into what it is today.
