Addressing the #energy trilemma–security, accessibility and sustainability–requires a mix of technologies and methods, tailored nationally and locally, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, argues @MHI_Group's Shunichi Miyanaga. https://t.co/d7mY3zV58b #EnergyAccess

@AfricanDNetwork @Emp_Ppl_Award @PamelaRoussos @JonaRepishti Entrepreneurship is a key driver for Africa’s economic and business development, hence, to invest in BAF’s. They represent the very best of Africa. The 2021 BAF’s are vetted and supported by leading partners: Invest in them. #CelebrateBAF

@AfricanDNetwork @Emp_Ppl_Award @JonaRepishti @AlmazNegash There are strong #socents participating in #BAF, #impinv should take some time to familiarize themselves with the enterprises to see if there is alignment, if so, more time to do a deeper dive. #celebrateBAF

We are looking forward to scale our impact and operations across Sub-Saharan Africa. We hope to create more clean energy jobs, reduce the impact of CO2 emissions..

For example in 2020 African tech startups secured US$701.5m worth of investment. Alot more needs to be done regarding equity and debt

Africa and startups on the continent cannot achieve the growth we desire without equitable digital access to the internet.
