Tailwater Capital hosts inspiring lunch & learn screening of Switch On documentary

In May, Tailwater Capital, a sponsor of the 2023 Switch International Energy Case Competition (SIECC), organized a Lunch & Learn event for its employees. The screening featured Switch On, the latest documentary feature film from SEA, which delves into the critical issues of energy access and energy poverty worldwide. Tailwater Capital's support of SIECC and their screening of Switch On exemplify their commitment to raising awareness and finding solutions for global energy challenges.

Switch On brings attention to the staggering number of people worldwide who lack safe and reliable access to energy. Energy poverty affects billions of individuals, stifling socio-economic progress and limiting opportunities for education, healthcare, and women's rights. However, the film also highlights the inspiring efforts of leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday citizens who are dedicated to bringing power to their communities.

The energy-focused private equity firm is a sponsor of this year's SIECC. SEA's annual global competition invites undergraduate and graduate students from around the world to analyze and present innovative solutions to address energy poverty. By sponsoring SIECC, Tailwater Capital demonstrates their support to encourage multidimensional thinking about energy problems.

SIECC has made a significant impact, engaging over 2,500 students from 40 countries to think critically about energy beyond traditional boundaries. The competition prompts students to develop comprehensive solutions for energy poverty, encouraging them to consider social, economic, and environmental aspects. SIECC inspires participants to become energy-educated leaders who can contribute to solving the complex energy challenges of our time.

Registration for this year's SIECC opens on September 1, check our competition webpage for more information and program updates.

Switch On is available to watch for free on our website and YouTube channel, allowing viewers to experience the inspiring stories and global perspective portrayed in the film. Switch On is also available for rental or purchase on Amazon Prime Video.
