We often take access to electricity, refrigeration, and running water for granted. In many parts of the world, these are luxuries.
In today’s episode, Andi Kleissner and Kurt Kuhlmann, Co-founders and Co-CEOs of Amped Innovation, discuss how they’re changing lives by installing high-performance off-grid solar systems and appliances across Asia and Africa. Nico visited with the pair in their CA headquarters; Seated on two of their high-efficiency solar freezers, they share insights from making solar products that empower impoverished families in the “developing world” to earn stable incomes.
Expect to learn:
Their entrepreneurial journey is inspiring; we hope you feel the same!
