Powering Knowledge, Sustaining the Future.

Manus Lab is the research and development sandbox behind ASE Botswana’s growing portfolio of clean technology programmes, developed in partnership with a global cohort of academic and technology institutions.

This work has been supported by leading global innovation programmes including Innovate UK and EU Horizon, and spans near-to-market clean technologies and financial instruments designed to accelerate the energy transition. Our partnerships span North–South and, increasingly, South–South collaborations — reflecting our commitment to solutions built for and with emerging markets.

In March 2026 we were selected as a commercial technology partner in the UK–Botswana–Kenya Trilateral Collaboration on Clean Technology Innovation.

Powering Knowledge, Sustaining the Future.

This collaboration with the community of Jamataka has a long history of engagement originally an off grid project the community have now been provided with the grid, how ever connections remain exceptionally low due to cost of connection. With the support of implementing partners the community established the first community run DESCO  in Botswana and in partnership own and operate a number of Solar assets delivering proactive energy for the community. The project is a demonstration of how community partnerships can implement and increase energy access. This model is currently also being developed  with communities in Malawi and Zambia with our partners.
