S1E7: Good Business

---

In this episode of Electric Equity, Brian Thomas speaks with Bryan McInnis, Director of Business Development for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region at EG4 Electronics. Bryan recently relocated to Kampala, Uganda, placing him at the center of one of the fastest-growing regions in the world for off-grid solar and energy access. In their conversation, Bryan explains how EG4 partners with nonprofit organizations to deploy solar energy systems and support electrification efforts in communities where reliable grid power is limited or unavailable. 

Bryan also describes how EG4 has invested heavily in training and workforce development, including NABCEP certification and other professional training programs for solar installers and inspectors. The discussion explores how partnerships between technology companies and nonprofit organizations can help build local capacity, create marketable skills, and expand access to electricity. As the conversation unfolds, listeners gain insight into how solar technology, education, and local partnerships can work together to address energy poverty and strengthen communities both in the United States and across East Africa.
