The incubator fundamentally transformed how we approach our business. "
The incubator didn’t just provide us with tools and resources; it fundamentally transformed how we approach our business. It challenged us to think bigger, innovate fearlessly, and stay true to our mission of sustainability. The lessons we learned during that time continue to shape our decisions and drive our growth. Soko Bags wouldn’t be where it is today without the support and guidance we received from the incubator.
