ENL Group

It took Netflix 3.5 years to reach 1m users, while ChatGPT achieved the same milestone in just 5 days! This striking contrast shared by Diane Maigrot, General Manager of Turbine during the launch of its new brand identity last Thursday, is a testament to how rapidly the entrepreneurial landscape is evolving — and how to stay ahead, we must evolve with it. At ENL Group, innovation has always been at the heart of what we do. That’s why Turbine — our start-up incubator and accelerator — has taken a bold step forward, unveiling a new brand identity that reflects its expanding mission as a strategic partner for responsible innovation in Mauritius. But this isn’t just about a new look — it’s about adapting to what entrepreneurs truly need today. Start-ups require more than incubation; they need strong connections to established businesses, access to resources, and real opportunities to scale. That’s exactly what Turbine is focused on: bridging these gaps, accelerating innovation, and driving sustainable business growth. At ENL, we don’t just support start-ups — we build meaningful partnerships with them. Today, Pv Solutions - Prime Volt Solutions, FOURAZ, and Sealife Organics Co Ltd — three start-ups from Turbine — are working directly with ENL across sectors like renewable energy, agriculture, and sustainable business. This isn’t just about providing support — it’s about leveraging their expertise and agility to create value for both sides. One example is Ecoasis Energy Solutions, our subsidiary which specialises in solar panel installations. Thanks to PV Solutions, a start-up from Turbine with which they partnered, they now have a solution to recycle panels at the end of their life cycle — tackling a key challenge in the renewable energy sector. This kind of collaboration is a game-changer, opening doors for start-ups while helping businesses adopt more innovative and sustainable practices. This evolution is also part of a bigger picture. At ENL, we are actively driving sustainable growth by fostering innovation, investing in digital transformation, and creating long-term opportunities for businesses to thrive. Strengthening our start-up ecosystem isn’t just good for business — it’s about building a more competitive, resilient, and forward-looking Mauritius. #ENLgroup #EnablingPossibilities

Preserving Mauritius’ natural heritage with the EcoHaven project 🌿 Since September 2024, our colleague Abdullah Nuckcheddy, Operations Executive – Plant Nursery at ENL Agri, has been leading EcoHaven, a biodiversity restoration project supported by the Varuna Biodiversité Programme, led by Expertise France and funded by the Agence Française de Développement. With extensive experience in indigenous flora conservation and ecosystem management, Abdullah now brings his expertise to this ambitious project. At the Alma nursery, he leads the propagation of endemic plants for the reforestation of La Motte à Thérèse and the Bar Le Duc crater in Moka. EcoHaven goes beyond planting trees — it is about engaging communities and safeguarding Mauritius’ unique ecosystem. This is why the project is rooted in community involvement, employing seven local residents who play an active role in nursery operations. "By working closely with local communities, we ensure that conservation efforts are not just short-term initiatives, but long-lasting commitments that future generations can build on," explains Abdullah. With reforestation efforts in progress, EcoHaven is paving the way for long-term environmental stewardship. 🔗 Read more about EcoHaven and Abdullah’s impact on the project: https://lnkd.in/d8wWG5Wf #ENLgroup #EnablingPossibilities #EcoHaven #varunabiodiversité
