In a new op-ed for The National<\/a>, one of the UAE’s most respected daily newspapers, Fady Jameel<\/a> writes about the need to take crowdfunding seriously.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“When it comes to crowdinvesting, inclusion and equality are among its core tenets. Anyone who believes in the potential of a technology, or a cause, can support it \u2013 and in doing so can make a meaningful contribution to vital fields, such as clean energy. It is also a powerful communication tool which allows full transparency and open communication around project financing and delivery, reinforcing its potential as a source of empowerment. In the energy sector, investors and users become one and the same \u2013 shifting from a top-down model to a decentralized one that better serves the interests of citizens, communities and local businesses alike.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11224,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11222","inthenews","type-inthenews","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSuccess stories for crowd investment in renewable energy projects are mounting - Abdul Latif Jameel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Success stories for crowd investment in renewable energy projects are mounting - Abdul Latif Jameel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In a new op-ed for The National, one of the UAE’s most respected daily newspapers, Fady Jameel writes about the need to take crowdfunding seriously.   He writes: “When it comes to crowdinvesting, inclusion and equality are among its core tenets.
