Shell Tameer teamed up with Dalberg, a social impact consulting firm focused at delivering impact to fulfill the irregularities in energy provision to local households. Shell Tameer and Dalberg partnered for a three-day workshop titled the “Training of Trainers”. The purpose of the workshop was to engage multiple stakeholders, including from the private sector and academia, to train them on how to impactfully help energy entrepreneurs build successful energy businesses.  Through supporting viable alternative energy solutions, we can help accelerate access to clean energy and help build a more sustainable world. The workshop consisted of six modules spanning across the three days.

12 participants from Shell Tameer’s partner network including senior faculty members from leading business and engineering institutes, representatives from Shell Retail, Lubricants and Trading & Supply businesses and SMEDA actively participated in the programme. Through their involvement in each module, participants deliberated on the viability of multiple clean energy solutions and the challenges that would be faced in their implementation.

Through this training, Shell Tameer is gearing up for an Energy Cohort in 2020.

Fueling Cleantech Future

Shell Tameer joins hands with Climatelaunchpad, an international business ideas competition with a mission to address climate change through clean technology solutions.

 The initiative was launched in Pakistan between Stimulus Pvt Limited, the local strategic partner of this initiative and the Federal Ministry of Climate Change earlier this year.

The first edition of the competition attracted over 100 applicants from across Pakistan, top 25 ideas were shortlisted to attend a two-day bootcamp, of which 50% were women.

These 25 start-ups were further trained to compete at national level.  Three of the top local teams, including a Shell Tameer alumnus ‘Goats for Water’, represented Pakistan at the Global ClimateLaunchpad Competition held in The Netherlands in November 2019.

Through this collaboration, Shell Tameer hopes to develop some of the brightest clean energy innovators to tackle climate change and contribute towards the economic growth of Pakistan.
