My entrepreneurial journey took flight when I won the Business Idea Pitch Competition organized by INES-Ruhengeri in August 2023. My company, INGABO SMART SECURITY, addresses the problem of robbery. I wanted to solve the problem of theft and make security affordable for everyone who wants to protect their property. I was able to realize my dream because of INES-Ruhengeri.
