Azuri Technologies

Corporate Round in 2019
Azuri Technologies Ltd. specializes in the development, manufacturing, and installation of solar power products aimed at off-grid communities in emerging markets, particularly in Africa and the United Kingdom. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Cambridge, the company addresses the energy access challenge faced by approximately 1.3 billion people globally. Azuri offers a range of innovative solar solutions, including AzuriTV, a solar-powered television; the Indigo pay-as-you-go system, which enables solar electricity delivery through scratch card payments; the Azuri Quad solar home system, which provides LED lighting, mobile phone charging, and other household needs; and the PayGo system, delivering clean energy to rural households without electricity. With an extensive distribution network across Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Zambia, South Africa, and other countries, Azuri leverages mobile technology to transform energy access into an affordable service, allowing users to pay for solar power similarly to how they pay for mobile phone services, thereby reducing reliance on costly kerosene.
