Azuri tech is ranked 325th fastest growing company for efforts in Uganda and other countries

Azuri has coupled off-grid solar with energy-efficient smart TVs, rechargeable radios, satellite entertainment, internet access and a range of other appliances and services to bring modern digital technology to off-grid households.
In addition to research and development facilities in Cambridge, Azuri has operations in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Nigeria.
The ranking is based upon the annual growth rate in revenue and those that make the list are considered to be at the forefront of business and innovation. Azuri ranked 325 on the list (up from 370th in the 2020 list), having achieved a 503% revenue growth over four years. This is the third year the company has been listed in the FT1000.
Azuri is again the only off-grid solar company to make the list and the company’s growth can be attributed to the consistent need for affordable, off-grid energy solutions in sub-Saharan Africa. This is a region where 600 million people lack access to reliable energy services and modern devices.
