DeReticular Uganda
Powering Uganda’s Future with Clean Energy & Innovation
Michael Noel, Founder
Slide 2: The Big Opportunity
Uganda stands at a transformation point:
- 28% electricity access
- Heavy biomass reliance
- Vulnerable hydropower sector
- Exploding digital economy
Solution: Hemp + Plasma + AI + DePIN
Slide 3: Our Vision
A sustainable, tech-empowered Uganda
Where every village:
- Generates its own clean energy
- Has decentralized connectivity & healthcare
- Grows economically through digital tools
Slide 4: The Tech Fusion
1. Hemp-Powered Plasma Gasification
- Converts hemp waste to syngas for electricity
- Reduces emissions, eliminates toxins
- Produces construction-grade slag byproduct
2. AI for Development
- Healthcare diagnostics, smart farming
- National AI strategy support
- AI labs & youth upskilling
3. DePIN (Decentralized Infrastructure)
- Microgrids, mesh networks, drone logistics
- Token-based incentives for communities
Slide 5: Market Potential
Energy:
- $5B opportunity in off-grid electrification
- Hemp gasification as a decentralized solution
AI Sector:
- High demand for AI/ML talent in East Africa
