The summit brought together Africa’s most promising clean energy startups, each presenting scalable, sustainable solutions designed to tackle the continent’s energy access challenges. Among strong competition, Mosebe Enterprise emerged as the top innovator — validating both its product and its long-term vision.

A Solution Designed for Real-World Energy Gaps

Founded in Cape Town by township-born entrepreneurs Vincent Mosebe and Leandro Antonio, Mosebe Enterprise is the creator of the Tsepho V3 — a portable, solar-powered energy unit engineered to deliver reliable electricity to underserved households.

The Tsepho V3 is:

• Compact and space-efficient
• Durable for informal settlement conditions
• Affordable for low-income households

By integrating recycled materials into its manufacturing process, the company reduces production costs while aligning with sustainability goals — ensuring that impact and innovation go hand in hand.

Why the Judges Chose Mosebe Enterprise

The company’s pitch stood out for its combination of:

• Technical viability

• Measurable community impact

Judges praised Mosebe Enterprise’s readiness to scale and its ability to empower households with safe, affordable electricity while simultaneously creating local economic opportunities.

The win included financial support and structured mentorship — providing acceleration capital and strategic guidance to prepare for broader continental expansion.

Beyond the Win: Building Strategic Partnerships

The YES 2025 platform, organized by Infinity Power, provided more than recognition. It facilitated direct engagement with:

• Global energy stakeholders
• Mentors and industry leaders
• Investors focused on climate innovation

The exposure enabled Mosebe Enterprise to refine its growth strategy and strengthen its positioning within Africa’s emerging clean energy ecosystem.

A Mission Rooted in Lived Experience

For Vincent Mosebe and Leandro Antonio, the recognition affirms a vision shaped by firsthand experience with energy poverty.

Growing up in communities affected by unreliable electricity, the founders built Mosebe Enterprise to restore dignity through access to clean, dependable power.

“This is not just about electricity — it’s about creating opportunities for learning, working, and thriving where the grid has left people behind,” Vincent shared following the win.

Accelerating Toward Mission 300

This milestone represents both validation of the journey so far and momentum for the work ahead.
