ARED GROUP INC
ARED is an AI and solar-powered distributed cloud infrastructure as a service using edge as a way to bridge the digital divide that exists in developing countries. ARED spent 6 years on research and development to find the right technology to be implemented on the African continent. Our technology is currently being used in 6 countries (Rwanda, Uganda, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast). Today, most of the data centers and other telecom infrastructure still use diesel generators to power their infrastructure that is contributing the climate change issues. Our mission is to help connect the unconnected by building the largest solar-powered edge infrastructure in Africa. Learn more about our Smart Solar Kiosks in Ethiopia here and our Microsoft ARED - Rwanda Azure Case Study.

Purpose

We have over 4 billion people today globally that are unconnected and 800 million live in Africa. Without digital access for low-income people, they cannot participate in the digital revolution that is happening in fintech, healthtech, agritech and others. The main challenge is the lack of infrastructure that exists on the continent due to cost and low purchasing power from citizens to allow a quick return of investment.

Our mission is to build the largest edge infrastructure in low-income areas to finally bridge the digital gap in Africa and beyond.
