Two Nigerian businesses; Alternate Energy Ltd (Energy Solutions) and De-Rabacon (Social Enterprise) have been shortlisted among ten businesses from six countries for the 2018 Shell LiveWIRE Top Ten Innovators Awards.

The global competition, which highlights and rewards businesses that demonstrate excellence in innovation will be holding in Malaysia this year.

Alternate Energy Ltd provides solar and wind-powered community solutions, including water treatment and off-grid solar farms and was shortlisted for the Energy Solutions award while De-RabaCon Plastics is being recognized for its eco-friendly solution to plastics recycling.

The Awards recognise businesses showing true innovation in the categories of Energy Solutions, Retail Supply Chain, and Social Enterprises. The winner of each category will receive a top prize of $20,000 and the two runner-ups from each category will each receive a prize of US $10,000.

Also, the ten winners will receive an award package, which includes mentoring support by a Shell expert, opportunity to benefit from market linkages, and invitation to the Top Ten Innovators final event during Global Entrepreneurship Week on 13 and 14 November in Kuching, Malaysia.
