MAN Impact Accelerator has accepted Nigeria’s drone startup Arome & Uganda’s electric boda Zem.bo into its 2019 and third cohort

Arome and Zembo are among the eight of the most promising and innovative social business startups from Europe, Brazil and Africa selected for the MAN Impact Accelerator’s third cohort.

The 8 beat around 300 companies from over 40 counties that submitted their applications to be part of the accelerator programme.

Zem.bo provides affordable electric motorcycles for motorcycle taxi drivers in Africa. They assemble and lease solar-powered motorcycles on a pay-as-you-go model with the possibility of owning the asset after two years.

Nigeria’s Arone, on the other hand, is building Africa’s biggest aerial logistics infrastructure for health care. By using smart drones, they can provide quick, affordable and reliable delivery of blood and medical supplies to the most remote villages in under 15 min. Zipline has been doing this for a while now in Rwanda and Tanzania and recently expanded to cover Nigeria and Ghana.

By end of last year, Zipline had delivered over 5000 units of blood. Arone will quickly feel the heat.
