Meet Eerik Wissenz: Impact business and compassion

Next meeting organized by the Sustainability and Impact Club of Tampere Universities: come to meet Eerik Wissenz, an inspirational impact entrepreneur.

Eerik is Canadian-Finnish, with a background in maths and philosophy. At a very young age he understood how serious global warming was and that our centralized energy system is one of the things to change in order to reduce pollution and re-build a healthy economy.

With his team, he is developing a solar thermal energy technology for farmers, micro-entrepreneurs and refugees and it goes with an educational training. Their goal with GoSol is to build a direct solar economy.

Since 10 years, they’ve been working together in Mexico, Cuba, France, Mali, Haiti, Canada, Switzerland, India, USA, Finland, Kenya, Tanzania, Philippine, Brazil and Burkina Faso.

The team has recently released a construction manual of one of their model for free: https://lytefire.com/Home#guides

Solar thermal energy and education for the most vulnerable populations.
=> Thursday 13th of February 12:00-13:00, in Y-Kampus Kauppi, Paja room C1-23.

The event is free and open to all.
