NoorNation, an Egypt-based climate-tech startup, has received significant backing from KBW Ventures, the venture capital firm founded by Saudi Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed.
While the exact investment amount remains undisclosed, the funding will enable NoorNation to expand its operations and enhance its innovative solutions focused on decentralised energy and water infrastructure.
Founded in 2021 by Ragy Ramadan, NoorNation has rapidly established itself as a key player in the climate-tech sector. The company is committed to providing technology-enabled solutions to off-grid communities, primarily in Egypt and Sub-Saharan Africa.
NoorNation’s flagship product, LifeBox, exemplifies its mission. This solar-powered, self-contained unit delivers clean energy and safe water at affordable prices, catering to the needs of rural areas, farms, and tourism businesses.
LifeBox is designed and manufactured in Egypt, reflecting the company’s dedication to industrial localisation and sustainability. It addresses the social, financial, and environmental challenges faced by underserved communities, offering peace of mind through reliable and sustainable solutions.
The investment from KBW Ventures represents a major milestone for NoorNation. Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed, a well-known advocate for sustainability and climate technology, recognised the startup’s potential during its pitch at the PepsiCo Greenhouse Accelerator Program.
He noted that NoorNation’s alignment with KBW Ventures’ focus on climate technology and its ability to deliver tangible solutions convinced him of its promise. This marks KBW Ventures’ first investment in an Egyptian startup, highlighting the firm’s confidence in Egypt’s growing sustainability and energy potential.
With this new funding, NoorNation is set to expand its reach and accelerate its mission of providing sustainable energy and water solutions to underserved communities across the region.
