Description

EarthSpark International is a US-based non-profit organization working as an incubator for clean energy enterprises that can deliver sustainable energy services. Working to eradicate energy poverty with a focus on what can work in Haiti, EarthSpark conducts the needed research and develop on business models that can spin off and scale to address specific aspects of energy poverty. EarthSpark's current focus is on building a model that can sustainably scale up EarthSpark's proven 'town-sized, solar-powered smart grid' model to bring electricity to an additional 28 more towns in Haiti by 2025.

Testimonials

I had a wonderful time with the staff, mentors, and fellow entrepreneurs in Santa Clara at GSBI. Being on-site felt like a working vacation during which I could both enjoy new ideas and people and also focus intensely on specific aspects of our operations and pitch. 4 years later, I still use versions of slides from the deck I made at GSBI!
