EnergyNet wins second Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade
We're delighted to announce our second Queen's Award in 2017 today, recognising outstanding short-term growth within a 3 year period as well as our continued social responsibility efforts within Africa. Over a 3 year period, £200,000 has now been invested via our ‘Not Just Talking Fund’ into energy-related projects to aid the lives of Africans.
In addition to supporting off-grid projects on the ground in Africa, EnergyNet founded the Student Engagement Initiative (ESEI) 3 years’ ago, flying a selection of best-in-class African law, finance and engineering students to meet sector leaders and explore future employment opportunities at conferences throughout the year.
The programme has sponsored 63 African students to date, working closely with African universities and partners Aggreko and Norton Rose Fulbright to provide onsite training workshops and meeting opportunities with African Ministers of Energy.
A big thank you to our partners and clients for your continued determination and commitment to the sector and the African continent.
