Our story
How Tech & Sun began
Tech & Sun began with a simple belief: access to reliable infrastructure should not decide who gets to participate in the future.
The first hub in Owerri brought solar energy, internet and community stewardship into one shared space. The team continues that vision today by developing locally operated hubs for learning, creative work and building.
