In 2021, the Global startup Awards expanded into Africa with objectives focused on finding UN sustainable development goal aligned tech innovation solutions with 55 countries competing in 12 categories, including Agri tech, health tech, industrial tech and women in tech.
This year’s Global Startup Awards took place in Cape Town, South Africa with entrants from 54 African countries and our CEO Onyeka Akumah was present to represent us.
The event saw Treepz enter as an Industrial tech leader. The process had Treepz go through 3 rounds of judging using independent, industry and category experts to reveal Africa’s fastest growing mobility tech company emerge as one of the 12 winners. We won the Industrial Tech Category.
Our excitement still can’t be measured as we know thousands of companies applied to win this exact category and we emerged victorious! We must be doing something right.
Since 2019, Treepz has continued to achieve remarkable milestones including completing 1 Million rides within 30 months of operations, expanding to Ghana and Uganda while looking to further expand across 5 more cities in Africa, receiving recognition from the government in operating cities and winning many more awards.
Here’s to breaking more barriers and winning big!
