EMMANUEL IGBINOVIA
Building with
purpose.
Engineer · Founder · Energy · Investor · Entrepreneur
I build companies around real problems — across energy, technology, mobility and sustainable innovation.
From southern Nigeria to the United Kingdom, my journey has been shaped by engineering, curiosity and a belief that useful ideas should become useful businesses.
MY JOURNEY
Engineer by training.
Builder by instinct.
I grew up in southern Nigeria, studied Civil Engineering at the University of Benin, and later completed an MSc in Environmental Engineering and Business Management at Imperial College London.
Since then, I have built and co-built ventures across energy, connectivity, mobility, sustainable materials, AI and education.
