Toronto Networking Meetup

Join us on Wednesday January 17th for the next WiRE Toronto Chapter Networking Meetup.

WiRE meet-ups present a welcoming and casual opportunity to meet peers, share ideas and opportunities, and educate colleagues about projects and initiatives of interest to the group. All women working in a field related to renewable energy are invited, as are students and developing professionals who are looking for perspectives on joining the renewable energy sector.

Featured Speaker: Lucia Bakulumpagi-Wamala
Presentation: Bakulu Power (http://bakulupower.com/)

A visionary with an eye for innovative, impactful project development, Lucia Bakulumpagi-Wamala’s novel approach to commercial/residential electrification, urban landscape improvement and educational R&D merges the worlds of art and energy. In a traditional and male-centric industry, Lucia’s focus is on developing and implementing collaborative renewable energy projects that engage communities, empower women and contribute to environmental sustainability. A natural connector, Lucia has bridged the fields of business, academia, politics, and arts in meaningful ways. As the Founder & CEO of Bakulu Power, a renewable energy company based in her native Uganda, Lucia’s goal is to power our tomorrow with projects and initiatives that foster social, environmental and economic development in her native country and throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.

Bakulu Power is the Frost and Sullivan 2017 recipient for the Ugandan Visionary Innovation Leadership Award, Renewable Energy.

In 2017, Forbes Magazine named Lucia one of the 30 most promising young entrepreneurs in Africa. Lucia holds an honours degree in Public Administration, with specialization in Community Intervention from the University of Ottawa and is currently in the Senior Executive Program – Africa at Harvard Business School. Lucia has appeared on Africa News, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and has addressed the African Union and the most senior Africans within the United Nations (UN) system. Lucia is a thought provoking presenter and panelist on topics concerning renewable energy, entrepreneurship, women in business and youth empowerment.

We hope to see you there!
