Doreen Orishaba, our Chief Product Officer, was at the TED Countdown Summit 2025!

Our Chief Product Officer, Doreen Orishaba, recently took the stage at the TED Countdown Summit 2025 in Nairobi, and her talk is officially LIVE!

Doreen shares the real-world journey of scaling clean transport in Africa. From overcoming early skepticism about electric mobility to now moving thousands of passengers daily on zero-emission buses across Kenya and Rwanda, the impact is undeniable.

While addressing the climate crisis is critical, the business case is just as compelling: electric public transport is proving to be cheaper to run, more reliable to operate, and less vulnerable to fuel price volatility. This is a massive economic and operational win for African cities today.

Africa has the potential to lead the global electric mobility movement, and BasiGo has proved that the transition to electric is possible even without subsidies.
