Access to Energy

Challenges

Today, 1.3 billion people in the world do not have access to energy. These populations, living at the “Base of the Pyramid” suffer from poor health, social and economic development conditions whilst paying a large part of their revenue for a harmful and polluting energy. The solution will come from a combination of competencies, funding and innovative solutions developed with and for the local populations.
