BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
Entrepreneurs
are opportunistic problem solvers. The existence of any problem regardless of the field is a perfect opportunity for them to
rise to the occasion by finding solutions that are conscious of
the environment at the same time. In deep thought, the bigger
the problem in society, the higher the possibility of giving
rise to extensively large and successful enterprises.
In the current moment, the world is in the worst environmental state ever seen; climate change, drought, an increase in
poaching and industrialisation which contributes to urbanisation as well as factories polluting both air and water
resources.
The big question is, how do we merge sustainable environment usage with entrepreneurship in a capitalist world which
is profit oriented and will do anything to maximise returns at
the expense of environment destruction?
There are various business opportunities rooted in current
environmental problems that are not explored to their
potential. These opportunities are solutions in the form of
goods and services that could reverse these harsh climatic
conditions as well as safeguard the environment.

Most parts of Africa are characterised by hot weather
conditions and the direct sun for most parts of the year.
Harnessing and rolling out extensive rural electrification
campaigns are thus essential. Africa has acute power
shortages which are made worse by rising populations as well
as increased development. >>
