This West African nation on the Gulf of Guinea boasts beaches and rugged mountains, but its greatest natural resource is the Togolese people. The Togo Pavilion showcases the innovation and ingenuity of its citizens, including notable start-ups and technological inventions. One project proudly on display is the CIZO (“sun” in Togolese) rural electrification project, a vital solar power initiative that aims to bring light, water and energy to villages, farms and health centres across the country. CIZO’s slogan is “On y va” or “Let’s Go”. Consider that a rallying cry for this ambitious nation.
