[…] Although only at its second prototype, ASAP has already won an award for Best Startup Business in the UK Lloyds TSB Enterprise Awards and Kemp is thinking about how to expand: “I’d love to be able to offer solar charging stations to local councils so they can charge their watercrafts whenever they need to.””
