⚡ How do we solve the challenge of energy access when less than half of a country’s population has reliable electricity? Investing in innovation and social enterprises can drive a positive impact in society. That’s exactly what EfPI partner Emmanuel Ekwueme, PhD is doing with ICE Commercial Power, bringing solar microgrids ☀️ to communities across Nigeria—transforming lives and powering progress. Explore how they are using technology to transform lives below
ICE Commercial Power is lighting up Nigeria with clean, affordable energy. Through modular solar microgrids, the company is offering small businesses a reliable alternative to diesel generators—cutting costs, reducing pollution, and powering local growth. By collaborating with young adults and universities to identify installation sites and use AI for data analysis, ICE Commercial Power is also tackling youth unemployment and building vital digital skills for the future. In partnership with Microsoft's Entrepreneurship for Positive Impact program, ICE Commercial Power is helping create a cleaner, more resilient energy future for Nigeria’s communities.

At the Impact Fest, last week, we launched the State of Impact Report 2025 which gives a data-driven look at how purpose-led entrepreneurship is scaling around the world. Over the past decade, impact companies have grown 28x in value, proving that mission and scale can go hand in hand. Yet, this year reminds us that progress isn’t linear and priorities are shifting toward resilience and security. That’s why visibility matters more than ever. Our allies at Dealroom.co are helping make that possible by mapping thousands of startups tackling the world’s toughest challenges, from food security and water tech to sustainable materials and ethical AI. 💡 The State of Impact Report, published in partnership with Dealroom.co and ImpactCity draws on Dealroom's global impact‑startup database to highlight where innovation is emerging and where it’s needed most.

What if the next big move in CSR or sustainability isn’t a campaign, but a new ecosystem? At Microsoft Entrepreneurship for Positive Impact, we’re learning that real transformation happens when companies invest in networks of changemakers.

When leaders learn alongside innovators, new ways of thinking emerge about value, about partnership, and about what’s possible for customers, communities, and society. Are we thinking big enough about what partnership can achieve? 📖 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eTPmBSDE
