The NICE concept

NICE aims to unleash the potential of people in developing countries through powering ICT with renewable energy.

With this purpose NICE International BV has developed the NICE Concept: a business model to distribute development products and services in Base of Pyramid (BoP) markets, through a network of solar-powered ICT centers operated by local entrepreneurs on a franchise-basis. The products and services offered in NICE Centres have the potential to help people in developing countries towards income generation.

The concept is based on four components: sustainable energy, an ICT infrastructure, and value added services.
