GETIT

GETIT focuses on "where ET meets IT (Energy technology meets IT/communications also known as Info-communication Industry or ICT) or Green ICT... 1.6 billion people have no access to electricity and about the same have no access to communications. Thus you truly cannot think of bridging the Digital Divide without tackling Energy Poverty. Thomas Friedman called it "Where ET meets IT" and it is this unique coming together of Green ET (Energy Technology) and IT/ICT (Info-communications technology). There are clear business opportunities for innovation and application in emerging markets, and this is what G-ET-IT focuses on.
