Clean Technology Hub, a pioneering hybrid hub for the research, development, demonstration, and incubation of clean technologies for increased energy access and climate resilience has launched a project called ‘TechMeetsRE’ to enable the Nigerian technology industry to identify opportunities for technology solutions in the fast-growing renewable energy sector.

The project which is in three parts seeks to:

  • Connect local tech ecosystems to renewable energy ecosystems aimed at building local partnerships towards increased energy access;
  • To advance the use of local talent and local technology services companies in the growth and acceleration of the renewable energy and energy efficiency sector;
  • To enable the Nigerian tech ecosystem to explore business opportunities for immediate adaption into accelerating the renewable energy sector.

The project will commence on the 14th of May with a workshop in Lagos which will bring together stakeholders in the renewable energy and technology sectors to explore the applicability of local home-grown technology solutions within the renewable energy and clean technology value chain. This workshop will be an initialisation, ideation and dialogue stage, where the tech and renewable eco-systems are expected to network and build the groundwork for collaboration.

The workshop is supported by The Global Greengrants Fund, the Heinrich Boell Foundation, and Sterling Bank.
