About IEEE Smart Village

Our MissionIEEE Smart Village empowers off-grid

communities through education and the creation of sustainable, affordable, locally owned entrepreneurial energy businesses.

Our ApproachProblem: Nearly 4 billion people around the world today live without reliable access to electricity –including 1.1 billion who live without any access at all

Solution: Bring electricity and cultivate education in communities with our scalable entrepreneur model

Goal: Seed $2 million per year; 10 country startups per year; each with a goal to reach 1 million people, positively affecting at least 50 million in 10 years


Our Method
