Gala+After Party: Vidalakis Dining Hall on campus;
Huge congratulations to Thato Mabudusha Schermer & the @zoiehealth team for winning the grand prize at the Stanford Africa Pitch Competition! #SABF2022
Our Infrastructure & Smart Cities panel is starting soon! We are excited to announce John Macomber (@cleantechcities), Ken Mbae (@VipingoLtd ), C Darl Uzu and @Mmetteden as our panelists.
I had an absolute blast moderating the #SABF 2022 Clean Energy and Infrastructure panel today. Insightful conversation from our incredibly experienced panelists.
…we see ourselves as having a big role to play in helping African governments, in terms of planning & policy development, to set the path forward for energy development & energy transition on the continent" - Hloniphizwe Mtolo,S.A Country Chair, Shell, during #cleanenergy panel
"…build enough local expertise such that you are serving a need, but also build something that is modular, and has some core element [tech or service] that is consistent" - Cordel Robbin-Coker, responding to creating product-market fit on #entrepreneurship panel #SABF2022
"There's an investment opportunity to export solar and wind energy generated on the continent…especially given the current geopolitical shift away from gas." - @MetaMaponya, Co-founder Mahlako Financial Services on Investing panel
Answering @TundeFolawiyo on advice to young entrepreneurs: "There are persistent problems on the continent that Silicon valley isn't aware of. We should encourage young people to build solutions built in Africa that can be applicable everywhere." @DrShikoh
"Learning from successful ventures can sometimes be the most important [entrepreneurial] learnings down the line" @TundeFolawiyo Chairman of Yinka Folaqiyo Group during the opening keynote #SABF2022#innovation

Many of Africa's social, economic, health, and environmental challenges can be addressed by an energy system based on renewable energy. Africa is incredibly diverse, and no single approach will advance the continent's energy future.
