Shell LiveWIRE International’s Top Ten Innovators has come to a close and what a competition it has been! We’ve celebrated innovative entrepreneurs from all over the world and brought them together for a grand final in Kuching. Maciek from Get Wonky (who recently rebranded as Flawsome Drinks) pitched his start-up which saves unwanted fruit from landfill and uses waste-reducing packaging. He was a runner up in the Retail Supply Chain category, winning $10,000 to develop his business! Meanwhile Josh from Metronome Energy took home 1st prize in the Energy Solutions category, receiving $20,000 to push his innovative technology start-up to the next level!
