BAOM eco solutions (BAOM), a Cape Town-based young-woman-led award-winning biotech startup, was, by some way, the youngest startup attending the very recent Global Startup Awards Africa conference and pitching event, in Addis Ababa, in Ethiopia. The event ran from October 24 to October 27, and BAOM marked its first anniversary on October 28! “This was our first international event,” BAOM product development lead Melian Dott told Engineering News Online, in an exclusive interview. “We made a lot of valuable connections, not only international connections, but intercontinental ones, too. A lot of people approached us. It has boosted our confidence for presenting our company at international conferences.”
