Innovate UK Energy Catalyst

Our REAP (Renewable Energy Agro-Processing) hub project, is a transformative initiative aimed at empowering rural communities by providing sustainable access to renewable energy and enhancing their food production capacities.

Through the integration of innovative technologies (solar power, cold storage and agro-processing into our aquaponic farm kit) and community-driven approaches, we seek to create lasting social, economic, and environmental impact in underserved regions across Africa.

To deliver this exciting opportunity, we have partnered with Smart Villages Research Group (SVRG) and the Innovate UK Energy Catalyst team and had our project kick-off in April 2024.

We first met SVRG as finalists in the Milken-Motsepe Agritech Prize competition in 2022, where you can see Dr Bernie Jones (Managing Director) attending our farm launch below, and we are excited to have developed that connection to a partnership on this project.
