Incubation


We foster and inspire local entrepreneurs in developing enterprises that deliver need based, sustainable energy driven solutions to underserved communities.

In 2014, SELCO Foundation recognised the need for a niche incubator, adopting a holistic solution approach to incubation. The approach looked at the development of both the enterprise and the ecosystem that the enterprise operates in. This is crucial to developing opportunities for social entrepreneurship.
