Azuri was the only off-grid solar company listed and the company's growth can be attributed to the need for affordable, off-grid energy solutions in sub-Saharan Africa. This is a region where 600 million people lack access to reliable energy services and modern devices.

"Azuri continues to go from strength to strength and we are delighted for the ongoing recognition for our work and continued expansion across sub-Saharan Africa. The FT1000 results show that innovative technology solutions can thrive while also making a difference to the lives of millions," commented Simon Bransfield-Garth, CEO of Azuri Technologies.

Azuri has coupled off-grid solar with energy-efficient smart TVs, rechargeable radios, satellite entertainment, internet access and a range of other appliances and services to bring modern digital technology to off-grid households.

In addition to research and development facilities in Cambridge, Azuri has operations in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Nigeria.
