2018 is proving to be an incredible year of investment for our Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Douglas Martin! Douglas is the founder of Edinburgh-based start-up MiAlgae, which has developed an innovative product to harvest high value Omega 3 oils from micro-algae grown in wastewater. MiAlgae catches nutrients from wastewater sources, such as by-products from whiskey production, and uses it to grow microalgae high in phosphates and nitrates, which is then used as a supplement in livestock feed. In May, Douglas took home the title of Young Entrepreneur of the Year and the £30,000 prize fund at the Shell Enterprise Awards to develop MiAlgae’s technology further. Shortly after, he received a huge £500,000 boost to expand the MiAlgae team and to build a pilot plant for its technology. Just last week, Douglas won an impressive £100,000 at the Scottish EDGE awards – the highest amount awarded on the evening! An incredible achievement - well done Douglas!

We're excited to announce our latest Shell LiveWIRE Smarter Future Award winner is George Kalligeros, founder of Pushme Bikes! Electric bikes are offering a transport and delivery solution in cities all over the UK! But battery life can hold them back, resulting in delivery workers dismissing this low-carbon solution. But Pushme Bikes' have innovated a way to convert any bicycle into an e-bike and provide convenient back up batteries just when they are needed!
