**Topic:** Solar Charging Units and the future of Distributed AI Data. Across many communities in Africa and Asia, people still struggle with reliable access to electricity for basic phone charging. A dead phone can mean no payments, no business calls, no school access, no family contact, and lost daily income. Naijacharge is building a practical solution: solar charging units deployed with local SMEs, allowing communities to charge phones using clean solar power while helping small business owners earn extra income. This online briefing explains the **problem**, the **product**, and the **solution** — and how we are shaping the future with our batch of solar charging units. Attendees will learn how the model works, where units can be deployed, and how the solar charging programmes work. Join the **Diaspora Solar Charging Units Network** for a short online briefing on solar charging units across Africa and Asia. This session is for anyone interested in joining the solar charging revolution. The future is not going to be data in space, it will be distributed solar panels powersing communities. **Overarching topic**: This events are free thanks to the Monesave and Naijacharge founders. Its an opportiunity to learn how Solar Charging Units work, why it will perform better in continents like Africa or Asia.

Pitch.london is a curated speed-networking event for founders, operators and serious builders. Short, structured conversations. Sharp prompts. Real chemistry, fast.

In one evening, you can meet more relevant people than you might in months of random networking. Two formats. One room. Zero fluff. **01\. Founder matchmaking pitches** Sixty seconds to share who you are, what you’re building, and what would actually help right now. Whatever you’re looking for, the room is built to help you find it: people to build with, people to hire or be hired by, advisors and investors, or honest feedback on what you’re shipping. **02\. Group brainstorms** Small, time-boxed groups tackle a real challenge brought into the room. Bring a live problem you’re stuck on. Get five minds on it for ten minutes.
