Archived: Video Blog | Startup Provides Internet Access in the Developing World

Posted on November 2, 2017

Editor’s Note – How do you provide Internet access to people in developing countries where there is no power to charge phones or access the Web? WrightGrid, a startup based in Somerville’s Greentown Labs, has come up with the answer. WrightGrid has developed a solar-powered cell phone charger and wi-fi station designed to provide information access to people in countries such as Ghana and the Democratic Republic of Congo. WrightGrid this week accepted the 2017 AIM Global Innovation Award.
