Joshua Mosshart and Malia Ventures Enable Technology Transfer and Strategic Alliances

MALIBU, CA - Egypt just announced plans to build a brand-new business capital between Cairo and the Red Sea as part of the country’s economic turnaround drive. The development worth $45 billion, funded exclusively by private investors, is cooperation between the country’s president and the UAE and seeks to accommodate seven million people and create 1.75 million jobs. The goal is to build a master-planned city from scratch, including an international airport, large green spaces, and a theme park. Special focus will be put on long-term sustainability, environmental best practices, renewable energy, and clean technologies.

This is not only good news for Egyptians and the environment at large, but also for green tech companies outside of Egypt looking for potential strategic alliance partners to promote their innovations abroad.

The idea of a strategic alliance is simple: Businesses or developers can ‘rent’ their innovative ideas to large corporations in form of a license and earn royalties in return. The hard part is making the connection between the two potential partners. This is where Malia Ventures comes in. 

The California-based organization, managed by Joshua Mosshart, specializes in enabling those collaborations to help big organizations identify new technologies and give startups a chance to enter into fast growing international markets. “Essentially we are representing clean technology manufacturers and are licensing their products on a worldwide scale,” explains Mosshart. 

Many multinational corporations as well as political institutions turn to Malia Ventures for license transfer, including the United Nations, USAID, NATO, and NGOs. Countries with an especially high number of Malia Venture partners are South Korea, Egypt, Middle East, and North Africa. 

But there really are no geographical limits: “The great thing about strategic alliances is that they are global and literally know no borders,” enthuses Joshua Mosshart. “This gives local businesses the opportunity to enter foreign markets that would otherwise not be accessible to them because they are lacking funding, or because the cultural differences are too significant to apply the same sales strategy to the market abroad.”

Alliances can result in licensing transfers or co-branding agreements, depending on the needs and expectations on both sides. “In the end everybody wins,” Mosshart exults. “The company who developed the innovative technology earns money from royalties, the partner who uses it saves expenses on R&D, and since we are specializing in clean solutions, the environment benefits from it too, because it allows us to spread sustainable practices literally across the entire world.” 

Granted licenses are exclusive, which opens huge opportunities to the holders to commercialize a product and bring it to a whole new level. This in turn leads to the creation of new jobs in the license holder’s country, adding an upswing in the local economy as an extra bonus.

Malia Ventures is the brainchild of Joshua Mosshart who heads the company and is heavily involved in creating fruitful relationships between suitable partners. 

Through his extensive collaborations with the United Nations and his almost two decades of experience in the marketing and financial industries he has established close ties to international institutions, heads of states, and some of the most powerful families in the world, including the royal family in Saudi Arabia, which allows him to connect clean tech companies to a wide array of potential loan holders.

Joshua Mosshart Power Africa Leveraging Partnerships

Over 600 million people of the population of sub-Sahara Africa are without electricity.

Two out of three people in sub-Sahara Africa lack access to electricity. This leads affects their ability to obtain quality health care, education and economic opportunities.

President launched Power Africa initiative to combine the expertise of 12 U.S. Governmental agencies to spearhead innovative wind, solar, hydro, natural gas, biomass and geothermal resources to provide energy security, promote economic growth and reduce poverty.

Power Africa is working with African governments and over 100 private sector partners and other organizations to add more than 30,000 megawatts (MW) of cleaner, more efficient electricity generation in all of sub-Saharan Africa. 

Power Africa is also focused on increasing electricity access by adding 60 million new home and business connections. 

In sub- Saharan African countries, Power Africa also aims to: 

 Advance energy sector reforms; 

 Identify and address barriers to investment; 

 Work with partner countries and institutions to improve efficiency and capacity of power ministries and utilities; 

 Increase regional, cross-border energy trading; 

 Enhance energy resource management capabilities, and; 

 Work with partner countries and regions to achieve sustainable, long-term energy security. 

Beyond the Grid

Power Africa is also expanding mini-grid and off-grid solutions to increase access to underserved areas through 

“Beyond the Grid.” 

This sub-initiative utilizes Power Africa’s innovative transaction-focused model to galvanize partners to collaborate on off-grid and small-scale renewable energy solutions. 

Through Beyond the Grid, Power Africa is working with over 40 investors and partners that have committed to invest over $1 billion into off-grid and small-scale solutions in order to benefit underserved communities. 

The funding needed to electrify the continent far surpasses the capacity of African governments and foreign donors. By leveraging U.S. strengths in energy technology, private sector engagement, and policy and regulatory reform, Power Africa is galvanizing partnerships, making quick-impact interventions, and driving systemic reforms to facilitate future private investment. 

Power Africa is part of President Obama’s new model for development, which builds local capacity and supports innovative, effective and sustainable development assistance.

The U.S. Government is committed to providing more than $7 billion in financial support, loan guarantees, grants and technical assistance. 

To date, Power Africa has leveraged more than $20 billion from private sector partners for new on and off-grid projects in sub-Saharan Africa, meaning that every dollar the U.S. 

Since the launch of Power Africa, the African Development Bank, the World Bank Group and the Swedish Government have collectively committed an additional $9 billion in support of Power Africa. 

Cleantech grants is facilitating JV relationships through Power Africa and grant requests for innovative technologies that support this mission.

World Energy Brief : Joshua Mosshart High Dependancy on Fossil Fuels

Joshua Mosshart High Dependancy on Fossil Fuels

The world will need almost 60 per cent more energy in 2030 than in 2002 to meet its demand. Energy use in Asia will increase 112 pecent by 2030. 

China’s energy consumption is one of the fastest growing with an annual increase of 11.2 per cent, and it has surpassed the US as the world’s largest energy consumer.

Today, fossil fuels supply over 80 per cent of primary energy globally. But as we know they are finite resources that will be depleted in the near future.  Most of Asia’s growth today is
fuelled by fossil energies such as coal, oil and gas. Import dependency and soaring prices of fossil fuels are threatening the emergent growth of Asia’s cities.

The building sector has been one of the booming industries in
Asian cities. More than 50 per cent of all new buildings constructed are in Asia. Developed countries spend most of their energy in maintaining existing buildings, but the developing countries spend more energy in construction and development.

Cities rarely produce food, and their supply of agricultural products normally comes from the rural hinterland and from the international market. This implies much energy use for transportation, as well as for cooling and storing of food. 

The need to increase agricultural productivity could be significantly addressed if we were able to reduce production losses (e.g. from pests, diseases, storage, processing, etc.) and food waste arising from transportation and consumption.  

Globally the agriculture sector accounts for around 70 per cent of
water used depending on the income level of the nation. 

Developing countries use a higher proportion of water on
agriculture than the industrialized nations. Also, in North America
and Europe, agriculture is predominantly rain fed and does not

require much irrigation unlike in Asia.

The challenges for achieving sustainable urban energy systems are: energy sufficiency, energy conservation, energy efficiency and the deployment of renewable energy systems and appropriate technologies. 

Developing green cities and green economies will need supportive policies, capacity building, knowledge transfer, financial support mechanisms, market stimulation and sensitizing the population,

both at the national and the local level.

“The world will not evolve past its current state of crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation.”


- Albert Einstein

Sustainable urban agriculture is a useful tool that will help in
addressing cities’ problems in an innovative way. Cities will get
greener, air quality will improve, and energy requirements will
be reduced as food does not need to be transported over long
distances, refrigerated and packed. 

Solid waste can be turned into valuable compost, and grey water can be reused for agricultural With the steep rise in the price of food on global markets already leading to riots and starvation, the need for fundamental change is tragically underscored. (UNEP)

We have explored how existing technologies can be used to make
cities more sustainable. At the same time new technologies are
emerging that promise a decisive shift towards a more sustainable
future. 

New technologies can bring a sustainable future only if the right policy environment supports them. One could even name awareness and lifestyle change as the single-most promising
technology for a sustainable urban future.

New technology innovations can help in bringing about changes
for the better in certain ways:

1. Efficiency in existing systems as in buildings, electric appliances, vehicles, and production processes.

2. Emerging technologies offer technological alternatives to processes that consume fossil fuels.

Governments in developing countries have traditionally been seen
as “bottlenecks” to emerging technologies. 

If the gap between technology and effective policy making could be bridged by mutual effort, cities would much benefit. This gap could be bridged by more than one way:

Governments should also motivate collaboration between local
players and international partners who will enable local companies

to strengthen their knowledge, expertise and market reach.

World Energy Brief : Joshua Mosshart Asia Demands and Energy

Joshua Mosshart Asia Demands and Energy

Asian City's will double in the next two decades. This means a yearly increase in populations over 40 million each and every year. 

The Biggest opportunities for entrepreneurs and the biggest challenges for the Asian countries will be in the following categories:

• Energy
• Sustainable Food Developments
• Realiable Clean Water Sources
• Development in Rapid Affordable Housing
• Transportation Demands
• Education 
• Sanitation 
• Infrastructure 

A clear understanding of today's challenges of consumption and production systems will provide us with some insight into the solutions. 

At the top of my list is Energy.

“ If everyone consumed as much energy as the average Singaporean and U.S. resident, the world’s oil reserves would be depleted in 9 years.”

- WWF Energy Report 2050

Almost everything we consume or produce requires some source of energy. Most essentials of life depend on it. Water needs energy and waste needs energy disposal and housing and infrastructure takes up the majority of energy resources. 

Cities exert the highest demand for energy resources. Energy security presents itself as the big determining factor for sustainable development. The growth curve goes parallel with the energy demand/supply which correlates together. 

Cities use 75% of all of the available resources and account for over 67% of the greenhouse gas emission (World Energy Outlook 2008). 

Goods and services needed within a city are generally produced outside the city, and often in other countries. Urban centres thus rely on the supply of natural resources from around the planet.

The future of thes Asian economies depends on how they deal with  the demand for energy and ecological resources.

According to the World Bank (1992) we can identify three levels of environmental problems in urban areas, each of which corresponds to different levels of economic development:

- Poverty related issues such as slums, inadequate infrastructure
etc.;

- Industrial pollution related issues such as air, water and soil pollution;

- Mass production and consumption related issues such as large scale pollution, solid waste, etc.

Some of the key environmental and social challenges associated
with urban development are un-proportionally high energy
consumption, a high level of greenhouse gas emissions, a vast
ecological footprint, high resource consumption (water, food) and
large infrastructure costs aggravated by urban sprawl, the growth
of slums and the lack of livelihood opportunities. 

Asia especially is witnessing a rapid urbanization and a fast rise in the above mentioned consequences. This is a tremendous challenge for Asia’s governments, which are often not equipped with tools to respond to this fast-paced development.

According to the forecast of the International Energy Agency
(2006), the world will need almost 60 per cent more energy in
2030 than in 2002 to meet its demand. Most of this demand
increase will come from non-OECD countries. Under the current
business as-usual scenario, energy use in Asia will increase 112 per
cent by 2030. 

China’s energy consumption is one of the fastest growing with an annual increase of 11.2 per cent, and it has surpassed the US as the world’s largest energy consumer (BP, 2011).

Today, fossil fuels supply over 80 per cent of primary energy globally. But as we know they are finite resources that will be depleted in the near future.

Asian cities are on the path of economic growth as well as a fast population growth, both of which will increase the demand for energy and resources. 

Most of Asia’s growth today is fuelled by fossil energies such as coal, oil and gas. Import dependency and soaring prices of fossil fuels are threatening the emergent growth of Asia’s cities.

Investment in the energy sector will pay massive dividends in the coming decades. This is one industry I will be keeping a close eye on and putting a lot of strategic investment in these developing Asian economies. 

“We know the problems.... and we know the solution; sustainable development. The issue is the political will.”


–Tony Blair, ex-Prime Minister of Britain
