Eco-Entrepreneurship

Since 2012, Ekonnect Knowledge Foundation has been working on raising awareness, offering training, influencing education, and mentoring entrepreneurs. Apart from several community-based and corporate-supported initiatives in these arenas, Ekonnect came up with the first-of-its-kind ideas.

The initiatives included designing and organising hackathons on waste management and circular solutions, conducting master classes on circular economy and international leadership programs, and mentoring eco-entrepreneurs.

These engagements reflect our commitment to continuous knowledge sharing, promoting eco-innovations, building on our experience and staying connected.
