Welcome to Almost Here, Around the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

Future Technologies is to transform our lives for better or worse or the focus of this podcast.

Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used.

Or just around the corner, for Bitcoin to artificial intelligence,

3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.

This is the future tech podcast. I am Alan Thomas and I'm joined by Gisha Viner, co-founder of Greenium.

How you doing?

I'm doing great, Alan.

Thanks for having me here and it's a pleasure to talk to you.

Oh, great, great.

And we can just jump right on in it.

What is Greenium and what do you guys do?

At Greenium, we truly believe that

blockchain technology can fundamentally change the world.

So through that lens, we are using it to bring renewable energy power micro grids to developing nations.

Many of the people we plan to bring power to have never before had access to reliable

electricity in fact according to UN more than 1 billion people around the world live in the dark.

So we think about how much better their lives will be in the not too decent future.

And were you already in the tech space or were you already doing humanitarian efforts?

How did you come to co-found Greenium?

Okay, in the past I worked mainly in media and communications and I became involved with Greenium

when my cousin, herself, another of the co-founders, reconnect with me after several years apart.
