Our Executive Chairman, Eerik Wissenz, was a speaker invited to the last Autodesk University in Cape Town, South Africa, on September 7th and 8th.
During his talk, "Breaking the poverty cycle with solar entrepreneurship", he presented the results of our pilot projects in Kenya and Tanzania and our full model to break the poverty circle in developing countries. He also highlighted the work we’ve done in San Francisco at Autodesk’s facilities and how we’ve used Autodesk tools to improve our engineering and design process.
Autodesk Foundation also hosted round table talks to discuss and share experiences and challenges in sub-Saharan Africa.
