How Tech is Changing the Face of Africa

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Africa is home to the fastest-evolving mobile, energy, and finance markets in the world. Cleantech, mobile payment technology, and big data are changing the face of Africa, creating a landscape for innovation unlike anywhere else in the world. Fenix International is at the forefront of this transformation. Fenix is one of the premier pay-as-you-go solar providers in sub-Saharan Africa, bringing renewable energy, financial services, and credit to the over 600 million people in rural Africa living without access to these basic services.
Come meet Fenix's leadership team to learn how technology and entrepreneurship are changing the lives of millions of customers across African markets.  Join CEO Lyndsay Handler, CTO Jit Bhattacharya, and Founder/COO Brian Warshawsky as they discuss the extraordinary impact technology businesses can have in Africa. Dive into what it's like to live and work in Africa, and what to expect in entrepreneurship and development in the coming years. This is a great chance to chat with Lyndsay, based in Uganda, about her experience growing the Fenix team from one to over 350 full time employees, pioneering our pay-to-own financing plan, and building Fenix into a pioneer in the energy access sector. You will also have the opportunity to meet members of the Fenix engineering team to learn what it’s like to develop life-changing products for off-grid households across Africa.
We'll be raffling off several of our solar home systems, and will have an open bar from 6:30 to 7:30 as well as light appetizers.
