🌍 H.E.R.O. 2026 — What a journey!
After an inspiring week of learning, collaboration, pitching, and connecting with some of Africa’s most promising innovators, H.E.R.O. 2026 has come to a close — and we’re incredibly proud to have been part of it.
And then came Demo Day. 🏆
We are honoured to share that Silo Africa was named 3rd place winner at the H.E.R.O. 2026 Demo Day in Nairobi! 🥉
For us, this recognition is more than an award. It is an affirmation of our mission to use technology and innovation to help farmers reduce post-harvest losses, improve grain storage, and build more resilient food systems.
We are grateful for the opportunity to tell the Silo Africa story, receive valuable feedback, and learn alongside incredible founders building solutions for real-world challenges.
A huge congratulations to the other winners:
🥇 BuriCare Limited Limited — Smart neonatal baby carrier with real-time health monitoring
Chumz.io.— Helping people build better financial habits through savings and investment
TEGU Systems — Automating identity, location and residency verification
And a heartfelt thank you to Harmonic Innovation Group , Beentrepreneurs, Embassy of Italy in Nairobi , Hackhouse Africa and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make H.E.R.O. 2026 possible.
Most importantly, thank you to the founders, mentors, facilitators, and fellow innovators who made the week such a memorable experience.
We leave H.E.R.O. with new connections, fresh perspectives, sharper ideas, and even greater motivation to keep building solutions that create meaningful impact for farmers and food systems across Africa.
