All On clean energy hackathon inspires Nigerian students with ColdLink cold chain solution

Nigerian renewable energy firm All On held a Datafest hackathon in Lagos as part of its 10 year anniversary, aiming to inspire the next generation of clean energy innovators. The winning team, Current Creators from University of Lagos, Lagos State University, and Yaba College of Technology, developed ColdLink, a digital platform that improves the efficiency of renewable powered cold chain logistics using real time monitoring and predictive analytics. All On, seeded by Shell, provides debt and equity funding plus non financial support to Nigerian off grid energy companies. CEO Caroline Eboumbou said the company has invested in people and partnerships expanding clean energy access to low income households and small businesses. The hackathon challenged participants to create technically sound, commercially viable solutions with social impact. The winning ColdLink concept aims to reduce post harvest losses and improve sustainability of clean energy infrastructure. Judges from SFM Limited, Carbon Limited, Green Hub Africa, and All On evaluated entries on innovation, feasibility, scalability, and social impact.
