Our Mission

Our mission is to improve lives in the developing world through increased access to sustainable energy and related services. We believe that technology can be a profound driver of positive impact, and we work closely with early stage entrepreneurs to transform their ideas into market-based solutions.

THE CHALLENGE

Energy is critical to sustainable development; it affects all aspects of life including health, education, income generation and community services, yet approximately one third of the world’s population lacks access to this fundamental resource. Every day, critical thinkers around the world are exploring business ideas to tackle this challenge but face an uphill struggle to bring these concepts to market, as investing in new, unproven technologies carries high risk and very often little support in underdeveloped markets.
