Pitch
Danish internet service provider, BLUETOWN, has developed a Wi-Fi hotspot running entirely on solar energy. BLUETOWN is investing in remote, rural, and semi-urban communities by deploying its connectivity solutions and making internet services available at affordable price. As a response to COVID-19, BLUETOWN has provided free data-access to all users on the local cloud in Ghana to view informational COVID-19 videos from the WHO as well as the Ghanaian president’s address to the nation regarding the outbreak.

Just think of the potential! Farming techniques, public health, education, information – all of this can be elevated to a whole new level. This might very well turn out to be one of the strongest weapons in the fight against poverty.” Mogens Birk, BLUETOWN VP for partnerships and alliances
