Who are we?
Hazavagna ilaigna, Nanoé tavandraigna
A company with a mission
Founded in 2017, Nanoé is built on two complementary entities. In France, we develop our research and development activities, where we designed, assembled, and deployed our first nano-grid controllers. This technological expertise now allows us to quickly adapt our solution to the growing needs of rural electrification.
In Madagascar, our operational entity handles the deployment, operation, and development of projects on the ground. It supports rural communities in gaining access to electricity while promoting job creation, local skills development, and entrepreneurship.
By combining technological innovation and local roots, Nanoé addresses the immediate needs of electricity access while building sustainable energy infrastructure. Our model contributes to the development of a low-carbon, decentralized, and scalable electrical grid, with the ambition to be deployed more widely in other countries.
