Zelalem Nigatu

As the Founder and CEO of Inter Ethiopia Solutions, my mission is to drive innovation in renewable energy and lead new business initiatives that reshape Ethiopia's energy landscape. Over the last decade, we've successfully delivered over 200,000 solar home systems, greatly improving access to energy and promoting sustainable practices across the country. In my capacity as Country Director at Offgridsun, I’m a strong advocate for the circular economy, focusing on repairing, refurbishing, and repurposing solar systems and batteries. These efforts have been instrumental in reducing e-waste and extending the life cycle of renewable energy products, creating a sustainable and efficient model for Ethiopia.
