About the Global Off-Grid Solar Forum & Expo

Jointly organized by GOGLA and the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), the Global Off-Grid Solar Forum & Expo is the global meeting place for off-grid solar, mini-grid, productive-use, clean cooking, and e-mobility leaders to connect, collaborate, and shape the next era of energy access. This high-profile, multi-day international event has drawn thousands of participants from around the world over multiple editions.

Through a trusted, neutral space for collaboration, partnership-building, and practical exchange.

Aligning industry, governments, and funders around the issues that matter most for off-grid markets.

Spotlighting the latest sector data and insights to support investment, regulation, and program planning.

Nearly 7,000 participants have attended since 2008

Look where we've come in the last decade - there is the technology, there is the talent, there are the business models, and there's the grit and will necessary to actually achieve these goals, all under these tents.

This is the place to meet everybody and anybody you want to meet in the off-grid industry - distributing partners, friends, software companies - It's been a fantastic return on investment.

The more that this community is able to brain share and to corroborate our experiences and validate our ideas of solutions, the better we're going to be able to speak with one voice to key decision makers. It's really important that this event happens, and we're going to get to those solutions soon enough.

This is a very good opportunity for us to meet other people within the industry, network, and most important for us, build partnerships. The relationships we’re building will help ensure that our solar irrigation solutions can reach more and more smallholder farmers across Africa.

Connecting with industry leaders and forging partnerships is key to strengthening our position in the off-grid sector. As long-standing GOGLA members, we find the Forum to be an excellent opportunity for this. We aim to showcase our open-source and fintech software innovations, learn from others to improve our solutions, and fulfill our mission of enabling practitioners to provide essential services with greater efficiency.
