♻️ Innovation in Action at the Pacific Village | PIFCE 2026

The Mosi Comfort Tyre booth showcased how innovation and creativity can transform waste into opportunity. Using old and discarded tyres, the business created stylish, durable, and functional furniture, proudly handcrafted in Vanuatu.

✨ Lana Arthur shared the journey behind Mosi Comfort Tyre and demonstrated how simple ideas, combined with determination and creativity, can grow into a successful local business.🌱

The showcase served as a reminder to young people that great ideas can come from everyday challenges. With passion, innovation, and hard work, they too can create businesses that make a positive impact, support their communities, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

💚 Supporting local businesses and locally made products is an investment in Vanuatu's people, talent, and future.
