Quality livelihoods depend on access to energy.  Paul Meissner, Ph.D., GSBI^TM director, is joined by leading social entrepreneurs in clean energy to share findings from the Center’s recent field research. We will also unveil the latest edition of the Energy Map and our vision of the potential for innovative technical and business approaches to distributed energy.

This new approach is informed by over 10 years of experience, with more than 170 social enterprises that have impacted the lives of over 80 million people.  As practitioners on a global scale, we predict that a convergence of technology and business model innovations will disrupt how off-grid energy is produced, distributed, and financed in the next 10 years.
