MycoTile

Could mushrooms be the key to transforming the building industry while also improving the environment In Kenya? A social enterprise called MycoTile is innovating insulation materials made from agricultural waste bonded with mushroom mycelium. Its carbon-negative product delivers stronger insulative properties at a lower price than traditional building materials.

2023 has been fast, challenging and with little time for me to sit down and reflect on the work we put in daily. It has, however, been a year of blessings as well with a lot of visibility on MycoTile both locally and globally and to cap it my inclusion to the year #top40under40 List by Business Daily Africa. A big thank you to the believers of what we do who took their time to nominate me and to everyone who has reached out after the fact. Thank you Lynet Igadwah for the profile write up.

MycoTile had an opportunity to sit on a panel at the #P4GSummit in Bogota on the structured approach needed to support green entrepreneurs, the importance of catalytic funds, enabling environments and acceleration hubs to share guidance on running and scaling businesses. MycoTile also shared our work in sustainable building materials with Youth Delegates from Columbia and across the world at the Global Youth Climate Challenge 2023 summit as part of the Next Generation City Action by DTU Skylab. A big thank you to the State of Green Denmark, P4G Partnerships, Embassy of Colombia to the Kingdom of Denmark, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark & Danida Fellowship Centre. #nextgeneration #action #summit #sustainability #innovation #entrepreneurship #leavingnoonebehind #GYCCBogota2023 #mycelium #sustainability
