Empowering Global Communities: How Aeris Enables Sustainable Development Goals Through Secure IoT Connectivity

Aeris IoT is driving tangible progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa and beyond. Our technology bridges critical gaps in energy access, climate action, and water management by enabling our customers to implement solutions in areas where traditional approaches have fallen short.

 

 

Primary Impact : SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy

Aeris’ IoT solutions form the backbone of modern off-grid energy systems by enabling our customers to manage these systems effectively. Our platform processes millions of microtransactions daily, ensuring uninterrupted service to hundreds of thousands of households. By enabling real-time monitoring and control of energy access devices, we’re helping electrify communities that traditional grid infrastructure has failed to reach.

The global impact is substantial. Our technology supports the delivery of energy access solutions to millions of people, transforming lives and communities. This large-scale deployment is not just changing individual lives; it’s reshaping entire local economies by providing scalable energy solutions beyond just solar power.

By facilitating renewable energy adoption, we’re supporting climate change mitigation efforts. Our data enables accurate carbon credit calculations, crucial for proving impact and securing further investment. By replacing harmful energy sources like charcoal and kerosene with renewable solutions, we contribute directly to both clean energy access and climate action.

 

SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation)

While energy is our primary focus, our solutions also contribute significantly to clean water access. Aeris IoT supports smart water systems, ensuring efficient operation of water pumps and purification devices in remote locations. By enabling efficient water management, we help improve access to clean water, a critical resource for health and well-being.

 

Secondary Benefits: Impact on Individual End Users

While our primary focus is on energy, the ripple effects of Aeris IoT touch on several other SDGs at the individual level:

  • No Poverty (SDG 1): Reliable energy access creates new economic opportunities for families.
  • Good Health (SDG 3): Clean energy replaces harmful alternatives like kerosene lamps.
  • Quality Education (SDG 4): Consistent lighting enables extended study hours.
  • Gender Equality (SDG 5): Energy access particularly benefits women, freeing up time and providing economic opportunities.

 

Advantages in Achieving SDGs

  1. Multi-Market Scalability: Our solutions work seamlessly across numerous countries, allowing partners to expand without managing multiple local providers.
  2. IoT Specialization: Our expertise enables product optimization and enhanced reliability, crucial for remote deployments.
  3. Real-time Control: Partners can monitor and manage devices instantly, optimizing resource allocation and maximizing impact.
