Sahara Group Advances Energy Access in Africa with $50,000 Asharami M.A.D Equation
Sahara Group has announced the Asharami M.A.D Equation, a $50,000 innovation programme designed to advance Africa’s energy transition by turning research into scalable solutions that expand energy access, strengthen system resilience, and drive sustainable development across Africa.
The initiative, ‘Asharami M.A.D Equation: Solving for Sahara Beyond XXX’, addresses a critical challenge within Africa’s innovation ecosystem, where groundbreaking academic research often remains confined to journals without transitioning into practical industry application.
By connecting African researchers directly with real operational challenges across the energy value chain, Sahara Group is creating a pathway for ideas to move beyond theory into impactful execution at scale.
Director, Governance and Sustainability, Sahara Group, Ejiro Gray, noted that Africa’s energy future will increasingly depend on the continent’s ability to convert knowledge into action.
