Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Shreaa)’s ongoing participation at COP28 has turned the spotlight on five incredible disruptors from around the world, namely, Candam Technologies, Green Future Project (GFP), Kyma, Manhat, and Leukeather, which will introduce one to pioneering technologies and ideas that are swiftly putting sustainability in action.
Amongst the five participating startups, Candam Technologies and GFP won Sheraa’s Access Sharjah Challenge 2023 earlier this year benefiting from AED 500K worth of POC implementation support and expansion in Sharjah.
Candam Technologies offers a groundbreaking solution that aids waste management through affordable tech-driven Return and Earn initiatives that offer efficient identification and sorting of various packaging materials, and contribute to a circular economy.
Homegrown startup, Green Future Project, has delivered exceptional work in designing a comprehensive Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for ESG reporting and sustainable practices, enabling businesses to monitor, reduce, and offset their carbon footprint in real-time.
They are joined by three more startups, Kyma, Manhat, and Leukeather, who bring unique perspectives to sustainability. Kyma introduces an eco-friendly surface cleaner in tablet form, promoting reusing and refilling spray bottles. Manhat focuses on sustainable water technologies, utilising naturally evaporating water to address water and food security. Leukeather presents a vegetal leather alternative, demonstrating the potential for sustainable and ethical fashion.
Najla Al Midfa, CEO of Sheraa, expresses pride in these startups, stating, “Sheraa is not just an incubator; it’s a catalyst for transformative ideas. We believe in the power of entrepreneurship to shape a sustainable future. The startups showcased at COP28 exemplify the impact that can be achieved when innovation meets purpose. We are not merely supporting businesses; we are shaping a legacy of positive change. Sheraa is honoured to be at the forefront of this journey, empowering startups that go beyond profit, aiming for a triple bottom line: people, planet, and prosperity”.
“To aspiring change makers and innovators, Sheraa stands ready to empower your journey. Join us in creating a sustainable future through entrepreneurship,” Al Midfa added.
