The Green Energy Africa Summit (GEAS) will give start-up companies an opportunity to connect with industry leaders and government officials through its Energy Investment Village, which features a selection of the most compelling local clean-tech projects. The companies will have the chance to pitch to energy leaders holding potential investments worth more than $100 billion.
The Energy Investment Village is a partnership with the Saldanha Bay Innovation Campus (SBIC), an initiative of Freeport Saldanha, and advisory firm the Research Institute for Innovation and Sustainability (RIIS).
One of the companies chosen for this incredible opportunity this year is advanced adaptive structure specialists Brayfoil.
Brayfoil are designing the future of wind turbine blades – biomimicry-inspired compliant structures that change shape like bird’s wings to enable larger turbines and lower costs of energy.
“Wind energy is a vital part of the future energy mix, and we need to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We look forward to meeting the rest of the African ecosystem and showing them our work that’s aiming to do just that,” Matthew Bray said.
