What makes Steve Katsaros a Global Shaker?

Steve Katsaros, founder and CEO of Nokero Solar, is the inventor of a product that aims to revolutionise the lives of over 1.4bn people around the world who live without access to electricity: a simple, solar light bulb.

Nokero, standing for “no kerosene”, hopes to improve health and empower growth by replacing kerosene lanterns and candles across the globe. The company, the recipient of the 2012 Outstanding Mechanical Engineer Award from Purdue University, has distributed products to over 120 countries.

After graduating with a Mechanical Engineering degree from Purdue University, Katsaros invented several successful products for the ski industry, and ‘RevoPower’, a famous motorised wheel for bicycles.
