The award recognized companies that developed innovative technologies and had sustainable business models and the potential for global level operations. Speaking on the achievement, Jesse Moore, Co-founder and Managing Director, M-KOPA, said, "We're delighted to be recognized as a new energy pioneer. We dedicate this to our 60,000 pioneering customers in Kenya and Uganda. By connecting to M-KOPA Solar they are investing in a better, healthier, brighter future for their family. This award is made possible by the hard work of the M-KOPA Solar staff and agents, as well as our fantastic partners and investors."
