Switcher of the Month
We are proud to announce that our Switcher of the Month in January 2019 is Zouhair Chakir founder of STEPMOBILE, a business that brings a mobile plant for treating wastewater to companies, which allows them to observe environmental regulations without incurring the expense and logistical hassle of maintaining a permanent wastewater treatment facility.
“The government has the power to penalize industry for non-compliance with wastewater laws,” says Chakir, “but small and medium-sized companies do not have the infrastructure and resources to comply.”
Chakir intends to expand this infrastructure further with the assistance of a $25,000 grant from the Innov Invest startup incubator program. STEPMOBILE opened up more opportunities by winning the 2017 Green Pitch Elevator contest coordinated by SwitchMed.
Check out how STEMOBILE is born (story). You can contact them by Facebook page.
