This award is given every year to the top 100 world’s most promising tech innovators making impacts in terms of advanced manufacturing, progress in sustainability, and healthcare.
The statement made towards Shuttlers' recognition shows the company's commitment to addressing the complicated issue of inefficient transport infrastructure and prices in Africa's big cities.
