NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

During the 4th Edition of the Renewable Energy for Sustainable Growth (RE4SG) Conference & Exhibition, to be held in September 2024, at the Kigali Marriott Hotel, we aim to raise funds to light up 100 homes in the rural areas of Rwanda. Each home will be provided with sustainable and reliable solar energy solutions at a cost of $150 per home. This initiative aligns with the conference’s mission to accelerate Rwanda’s renewable energy transition and adoption, supporting the country’s goal of achieving universal access to electricity by 2024.

We aim to raise $15,000 to provide sustainable solar energy solutions to 100 homes in rural Rwanda. Each home will receive a solar system at a cost of $150, aligning with Rwanda’s goal of universal electricity access by 2024.
Rwanda is making significant strides in its energy sector, targeting 100% household access to electricity by 2024. Despite this progress, many rural communities remain without reliable energy. By lighting up 100 homes, this project will not only provide immediate benefits to these families but also serve as a beacon of what can be achieved through collective action and sustainable solutions. By lighting up 100 homes, we can:

• Improve Quality of Life: Provide families with clean, reliable energy.
• Promote Renewable Energy: Raise awareness about the importance of sustainable energy.
• Drive Community Development: Show the transformative impact of collective action and renewable solutions.

Threats to the global community — such as climate change and pandemics — demand urgent innovation and action at scale. But when commercial incentives for innovation trail behind the social value, market shaping instruments can credibly signal demand and spur the development and adoption of new innovations. The Center for Global Development (CGD) and the University of Chicago’s Market Shaping Accelerator (MSA) are excited to launch their joint initiative to design and scale market shaping mechanisms to address the world’s most pressing problems.

This event also marks the culmination of a year-long open innovation competition. Teams from around the world competed to develop promising applications of market shaping pull mechanisms to reduce harm from pandemics and improve global health. In the afternoon, the three finalist teams will present their proposals to a panel of expert judges. Following the event, the winners of the grand prize and the “Best Pitch’” award, totaling $600,000, will be announced.​​​​

In-person attendance to this event is on an invite-only basis. In case you are interested in attending in person in Washington, DC, please email marketshaping@uchicago.edu.

Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm ET
