Have you heard about the Top Ten Innovators, or TTI for short? It's not just your ordinary business competition - TTI is a platform that empowers entrepreneurs to take their businesses to the next level with cash prizes, mentorship, and promotion on Shell's communication channels.
One of the exciting things about TTI is that entrepreneurs get to choose which category they want to participate in. Do consider that the categories for TTI changes yearly. Last year in 2022, the categories were based on how their business has contributed to social impact, environmental sustainability, and business innovation.
The winners get cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. And if that's not enough, the winning entrepreneurs also receive mentoring support to help them grow their businesses even further.
Let's look at some of the winners from the 2022 Top Ten Innovators competition:
