Startupper

Because ideas need energy to become something great, TotalEnergies launches the 2nd edition of the Startupper Challenge in nearly 60 countries around the world.

In Kenya’s first edition, TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya rewarded three young entrepreneurs:  

• Samuel Wanderi - Safi Organics.
• Susan Kwamboka Okioma - JSIL Space Solutions.
• Kevin Mureithi Maina - Eco Blocks

Again, the Challenge targets every young local entrepreneur with an innovative project or idea that could make things change in their country. After several selection steps, our local jury will nominate three winners and the Top Female Entrepreneur Award.

The three winners will get the 2019 STARTUPPER OF THE YEAR Award, along with financial support, exposure and coaching for their projects.
