EDF Pulse Africa Challenge
Encouraging African innovation & creativity in solving the current energy crisis
On Thursday, October 14th, EDF in partnership with FSACCI, Fliptin Technologies, and the Embassy of France in South Africa, hosted the EDF Africa Pulse Awards at the French Ambassador's residence. This acceleration programme for SMEs and start-ups sought to mobilise innovative solutions in off-grid power generation as a way to meet Africa and South Africa's electricity challenges.
We congratulate HelixPower on their selection as the winners of the competition which takes them to Paris on the next leg where competitors from around Africa will propose their solutions to meeting the continent's energy crises.
