The Concept
Establish organically-scaled enterprises
preserving culture, ensuring low-disruption
to complexities of village life, yet giving
women a more-equal footing with men
Micro-ventures founded by women
Business ownership and employment
among entrepreneurial-minded women;
training, tools and material provided
EcoEarth Creating new value for outmoded technologies
The Opportunity
Solar thermal flat-plate collectors, a theoretically beneficial renewable energy
technology is one of America’s most under-developed products and is abnormally
under-performing in a stagnated U.S. sector - yet exploding in global markets.
World-wide, this is a technology requiring factory-based manufacturing that is
increasingly moving toward robotic assembly lines with automated laser welding;
yet it still remains logistically problematic to package, ship, warehouse and deliver,
also requiring professional installations - with resultant high-cost-of-purchase.
EcoEarth’s high-concept/low-tech innovation now makes product production
realistically feasible within regions of the globe where creating business ownership
and employment opportunities for underprivileged women is critically important.
