The Solarplaza Foundation (registered as ‘Stichting Solarplaza Foundation’) was founded in December 2019, spinning off from the private company Solarplaza, which has built a global reputation and network through the organization of over 150 solar industry business events across the world over the course of its 15 years of existence. Its efforts to fulfill the company mission of “accelerating the sustainable energy transition” have contributed to the development of solar markets in both established and emerging countries. However, being a business-to-business focused company, much of the associated gains remain in the business world. 

To reinforce this mission, yet move beyond the business-to-business focus and in a more democratic fashion, and to do so without the intention to turn a profit, the Solarplaza Foundation was established as a separate entity with the updated mission: “To accelerate the sustainable energy transition for all.”
