02:20- Tell me about Africa GreenTec. What motivated you to start it?

• Africa GreenTec is a German social enterprise that empowers people in the Global South to achieve more self-determination and growth through sustainable energy solutions. 
• With our sustainable system solution, we build ImpactSites, where entire village communities in rural areas are equipped and empowered with electricity and modern technologies. 
• We rely on an extensive portfolio of products and service solutions such as state-of-the-art solar energy, smart meter technology, cooling systems, water treatment and internet access. 
• With ImpactSite, Africa GreenTec has developed a holistic systems solution that makes it possible to supply entire village communities in rural regions with electricity and sustainable technologies. 

20:25- What three lessons do you want our listeners and views to learn from your experience and our conversation? 

• Believe in your dream. If you believe in it, go for it and work hard for it.
• Have strong values. If you don’t know them, go in and look for them. Ask yourself and take a pause.  
• If you enjoy it, why not. Try to find your place of joy in everything you do. This is called passion. I think you will be a happier human being who can influence others. 

14:40- How is your project Africa GreenTec impacting lives? 

• AGT promotes core values and business models globally as they align with my vision of empowering African communities, Women for fair and sustainable access to Economic Development, Economic Autonomy and Education.
• Women have faced discrimination and inequalities in the workforce. But they are the driving force of a country. 
• We’ve taken electricity to the next level by developing an intelligent system that can withstand the harsh conditions of off-grid African regions – outperforming even modern European standards.
• Electric access provides opportunities for people, companies and farmers while creating new prospects for future generations.

07:50- What are the clean sources of energy? Do you see them as replacing traditional sources?   

• Products such as our powerful Solartainer® are driven by solar energy – Africa’s most logical and clean energy source. 
• Time is running out. The world will observe a runout by 2052. As per science, natural gas will be exhausted by 2090. Therefore, alternative sources are our only way out. 
• Sun is free, and we must find a technology to use these clean energy sources.
