Sun King has brought electricity to 13% of Togo's population
1.15 million Togolese now have access to clean electricity thanks to Sun King, representing 13% of the country’s population. Since establishing operations in Togo in 2019, the company—featured in the Vintage FPCI Altaroc Odyssey 2021—has sold 209,229 solar kits there, ranging from a single lamp to a complete system capable of powering a business. Sun King’s sales in Togo rely on a network of 761 local agents and 22 retail locations, ranging from Tsévié—which alone has sold more than 20,000 units—to Dapaong in the far north of the country. These results are part of Mission 300, Sun King’s initiative aimed at connecting 300 million Africans to electricity by 2030.
GCash Turns Filipinos' Everyday Payments into Forests
4.9 million trees planted since 2019, simply because Filipinos are paying their bills from their phones. GCash, a company featured in the Vintage FPCI Altaroc Odyssey 2021, has developed the most popular banking app in the Philippines, with 80 million users. These users can convert every everyday transaction into green points, which they can then exchange for actual trees planted. On September 19, more than 3,000 volunteers gathered in Balamban, on the island of Cebu, to launch a new project: planting one million trees across 1,200 hectares over the next five years. Bamboo, native plant species, and mangroves are being planted along rivers and coastlines to reduce erosion and flooding. GCash aims to double the number of trees planted, reaching 10 million by 2030.
Beewise Ranked22nd Among the Fastest-Growing U.S. Companies
Each year, the Inc. 5000 list ranks the 5,000 fastest-growing U.S. companies. Out of more than 30 million companies in the United States, Beewise ranks22nd on the list andfirst in the agricultural sector, outranking SpaceX and Morgan Partners. Featured in the Vintage FPCI Altaroc Odyssey 2021, the Israeli company has designed a solar-powered robotic beehive that continuously monitors colonies using cameras and sensors. It regulates temperature, feeds the bees, and eliminates varroa mites—a parasitic mite considered one of the leading causes of bee mortality—through a chemical-free heat treatment. The result: fewer than 10% of colonies lost each year, compared to nearly 40% in the United States in 2024–2025. Protected within these hives, the bees pollinate more than 120,000 hectares of crops annually. Beewise’s success is driven in particular by California almond growers, who rely heavily on bees for their crops. In fact, they doubled their fleet of Beewise hives in 2025.
