Sanivation operates a circular-economy sanitation platform that treats faecal sludge and blends it with sawmill and agricultural by-products to produce high-performance solid fuel briquettes. These briquettes burn longer and more efficiently than firewood, cutting industrial customers’ fuel costs by 10–30% while offering a cleaner alternative to biomass and charcoal. The company partnered with Nakuru County to launch a pilot plant in Naivasha in 2018 and is now scaling that facility to meet growing demand. Once expanded, the Naivasha plant is expected to process waste generated by 100,000–130,000 households, easing pressure on municipal wastewater systems and reducing pollution around Lake Naivasha. Sanivation’s integrated waste-to-value model aims to deliver both environmental benefits and long-term financial sustainability as urbanization accelerates in Kenya. The firm is led by CEO and co-founder Emily Woods and is positioning itself to replicate this model across the region.

LOCA Company Limited operates a ride-hailing application that integrates an electric taxi fleet with a growing network of EV charging stations across Laos. The platform serves a tech-savvy urban population and benefits from rising demand from both locals and tourists. With fresh growth capital, LOCA plans to add 54 new charging stations, increasing its total network to roughly 93 sites, and to expand the number of EV taxis on its marketplace. These additions aim to reduce range anxiety, make long-distance travel more convenient, and speed up overall EV adoption in the country. The company positions itself at the center of Laos’ green-mobility push, supported by government incentives targeting over 30 % EV penetration by 2030. The USD 2.5 million investment from PIDG provides the latest infusion of capital to fund this expansion.
