Description: Enerwhere, a proud African Power Platform member, is undertaking a crowdfunding round to fuel the growth plans.
In 2017 Enerwhere raised more than US$1million in equity crowdfunding through Eureeca, which resulted in 150% revenue growth in 2018.
Enerwhere is the world's first distributed solar utility company, based in Dubai. A solar hybrid company providing energy as a service, generates cleaner energy exactly where it is needed i.e. on rooftops or next to business facilities.
Enerwhere, with its data driven client-lead approach, is now firmly positioned as one of the regional leaders in cleaner energy solutions for both on and off-grid businesses.
Enerwhere is raising again on Eureeca to ensure that individual investors and not just institutional investors can benefit from its success.
This webinar will give you the background of Enerwhere and details on the crowdfunding round.
The agenda will include:
