African Tech Sector Represented in Europe
By BridgeSolar
Emmanuel Nyaletey, WR3A Board Member and Founder and CEO of BridgeSolar from Ghana, was invited to represent Africa's technology sector before European recycling officials at the International Electronics Recycling Congress (IERC) 2018.
He presented on electricity funding and demand growth since Ghana's independence, highlighting the role affordable second-hand electronics play in creating the economic conditions that attract investment in electrical and electronic infrastructure.
He also made the case that extending the useful life of quality equipment expands access for people who cannot afford brand-new devices, improves livelihoods, and advances environmental goals.
