Divine Chocolate took top honors at the UK's Enterprising Solutions awards. The Fairtrade chocolate company is co-owned by a Ghanaian cocoa farmer’s cooperative. The Kuapa Kokoo co-op receives a share of the profits as well as payment for their cocoa crop. Their products are available at Tesco and other major retailers in the UK.
I'm flying to London on Sunday and will make a point of taste testing the winner at the earliest opportunity (one can't neglect one's duty after all!).
Congratulations to Divine Chocolate.
I've been studying global innovation for much of the past few months and have consistently been impressed with what's happening in the UK. From private enterprise to public policy and everything in between, exciting things are happening in the UK.
For example, alliances are being created between business schools, engineering schools, and design schools to give students the chance to acquire cross-disciplinary skills that help expand horizons (more about that tomorrow). The Enterprising Solutions awards are another example of creatively inspiring the future.
