Women Sustainable Energy Program - FIEREE 3rd Edition

ALER participated on the 3rd edition of FIEREE - International Fair of Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency that took place from March 24th to 26th, at Cidade da Praia in Cape Verde.

On the first day of the event, ALER had the opportunity to organize a side event where it was presented the Women Sustainable Energy Program (PESM), a training, capacity building and empowerment program for candidates from Cape Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe and Guinea -Bissau, with the aim of supporting the creation of projects and business models in renewable energies. Among the 22 participants of the Program, we had the presence of seven Cape Verdean participants, which were: Laura Reis, Ariana Andrade, Alécia Monteiro , Simone Duarte, Ana Furtado, Eunice Landim and Sónia Veiga.

The candidates were able to present their different projects and share their experience as participants in this program. It was also an opportunity for them to strengthen their networking and collaboration bonds among themselves and with different entities present at FIEREE. Discover the projects presented here.

In addition to promoting this program, ALER also announced the WESUP – Sustainable Energy Entrepreneurship and Startups Workshop, which will take place on April 26th and 27th. This online workshop is an opportunity for companies and individuals in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sector to acquire training and entrepreneurship tools to plan, implement and evaluate their ideas and projects, existing or under development.
