ORGANIZERS
SOLAR SHIP
Solar Ship Inc. is a global leader in developing electric powered aerospace products. With a mission to connect remote areas to the benefits of the global community, its electric aerospace products include bush planes, tethered aerostats, airships and hybrid airships. Solar Ship is a Canadian company. A strategic focus for Solar Ship is Africa, specifically Great Lakes Africa. The economies of Great Lakes Africa were originally built for colonial interests, with infrastructure designed to extract wealth from the country, not create and circulate wealth within the country. Aerospace technologies can overcome this by creating Smart Remote infrastructure to protect public interest, create wealth and circulate benefits. There are two parts to Smart Remote: the technical and the human. Solar Ship concentrates on the technical and works with its partner, Peace + Freedom to develop the human.

MALAWI
Malawi is a peaceful landlocked country of 118,000 km2 in southern Africa with a population of 20 million people. It is located on Lake Malawi, one of the world’s largest and most spectacular freshwater lakes. A former British colony designed to produce cash crops for export, Malawi has a rapidly growing youth population with an expanding base of talent and leaders eager to make Malawi a leader in developing Smart Remote economies in Africa. Malawi pioneered the concept of special Aviation Corridors: in June 2017, the Government of Malawi created the world’s first Drone Corridor for Humanitarian Aviation. This corridor allows global companies to work with Malawian engineers, students and aviation experts to test, build, and fly drones on humanitarian missions. Malawi’s Department of Civil Aviation has extensive experience creating the conditions to attract global innovators and entrepreneurs in aerospace and aviation.
