KarmSolar’s greatest achievements have always been those of its team of incredibly talented and highly motivated employees. However, over the past 2 years, our thought-provoking business model and track record of growth have garnered the attention of the international community. These awards and recognitions are a true testament to how far we’ve come since the company’s inception in 2011.

Check out the highlights below:

Financial Times – Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies 2022/2023

The annual Financial Times ranking of the fastest growing companies in Africa is determined using data compiled by Statista, a research and infographics company that ranks companies using their respective compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue over a period of time.

In 2022, KarmSolar was named the fastest growing company in Egypt and ranked 19th across Africa based on the CAGR for the time period 2017 to 2020. KarmSolar was featured in an article in which the rise of solar energy in Africa over the past few years was explored. Despite the economic challenges in Egypt, and the global economic downturn, KarmSolar managed to preserve its presence in the Financial Times list of the fastest growing companies in Africa,with a combined annual growth rate of 75.27%, in 2023. The expansion of our footprint in Egypt through our power grids to new geographies across the country aided this achievement and allowed the company to connect new clients that were previously unreachable. Through persistent organic growth, which surpassed the rate of devaluation of the Egyptian pound, the company managed to rank 19^th across Africa for the second year in a row.
