Goal Zero, a leader in portable, reliable solar power, announced a strategic investment and technology development agreement
with In-Q-Tel, a non-profit, strategic investor that identifies, adapts and delivers innovative technology solutions to support the missions of the U.S Intelligence Community.
“We’ve championed a new approach to the way consumers charge their essential devices,” said Joe Atkin, President and CEO of Goal Zero. “Being able to develop those same, easy-to-use solutions for IQT’s government customers will give us the opportunity to expand our reach to other relevant markets and continue our mission of powering the world.”
“Goal Zero has established a strong presence in the portable power market,” said Syd Ulvick, Senior Vice President at IQT. “The research and development that has allowed the company to make solar power scalable, versatile, and easy to use represents a valuable asset to our customers.”
Goal Zero’s solar kits have been tested and proven in some of the harshest environments possible. The company supports treks up Everest and expeditions to Antarctica, where dependable power can be a life saver. After Hurricane Sandy, Goal Zero donated nearly $600,000 worth of portable power kits to residents in New York and New Jersey who had been living without power for days, even weeks.
