Mbiko Banda is an Electrical Engineer and Research Lead for Africa GreenCo.

She agreed to work with the Summit because she sees it as an opportunity to look at the intersection of productivity, energy resilience and impact firsthand, useful for her PhD studies. But, it also gives her a way to weigh in on her experience in both work and research to a receptive audience.

“It goes beyond dialogue, it’s about real market transformation,” said Banda about the Summit.
