Nigeria is investing in innovative solutions to accelerate their renewable energy transition and provide a roadmap for the rest of the continent. Here's a snapshot:

🔋 This Interconnected Mini Grid site in Toto Community, Nasarawa, just south of Abuja provides over 1 million kWh while reducing carbon emissions.

🏫 The University of Abuja's solar power site provides economic opportunities to students all while teaching them about the project and renewable energy.

🏬 Several business owners like Daniel Kalu don't have to rely on a petrol generator to provide top notch dry cleaning services.

We're excited to continue working with our partners, The Global Energy Alliance, Sustainable Energy for All, The World Bank, The Rural Electrification Agency, and AllOn Energy to support Nigeria's clean energy transition! #LetsChangeEnergy

$Inside the Billion-Dollar Startup Saving American Manufacturing Americas industrial comeback is underway. The Rockefeller Foundation is ensuring the founders behind it don’t get left behind. Hard tech entrepreneurs working in hardware, manufacturing, and real industrial solutions face a system that wasnt designed for them. Building physical technology costs more, takes longer, and attracts a fraction of the funding that software startups receive. That gap isnt just unfair; It threatens job creation, energy resilience, and Americas ability to lead the industries that will define the next century. In this video, we break down a new $1 million partnership between The Rockefeller Foundation and @mHUBofficial, the nations largest independent hard tech innovation center, and what it means for the next generation of American founders. This is what it looks like when philanthropy meets the physical economy.
