- SolarRock Technologies is seeking pre-seed funding to scale AI solutions for the energy sector, using machine learning to boost business efficiency.
- Edidiong Mbong argues AI will create new jobs and global collaboration opportunities, positioning responsible innovation as key to future economic growth.
Edidiong Mbong, Founder of SolarRock Technologies, announced plans to raise pre-seed funding as the company enters its early growth stage. The startup develops artificial intelligence solutions for businesses in the energy sector.
The company applies AI, machine learning and advanced algorithms to help firms operate faster and more efficiently, Mbong stated in an interview with Society Plus. He described AI as a tool that can analyse complex problems at scale and support better decision-making models.
“AI can solve many business problems faster through machine learning and better algorithms,” he said. He added that AI can improve efficiency, reduce waste and support broader productivity gains.
Mbong argued that AI will not eliminate jobs. Instead, he noted that the technology can restructure the workforce and create new employment pathways in technology-driven markets.
“AI is not here to replace people entirely,” he said. “It can create new roles, new skills and new opportunities for workers.”
He also emphasised the importance of global collaboration in the modern economy. He stated that progress requires countries and companies to expand beyond national boundaries and adopt global strategies.
“Globalisation is already here,” Mbong said. “Technology removed many barriers, and AI has given us a second chance to compete, collaborate and grow together.”
Mbong said startups that adopt AI responsibly will play a critical role in shaping economic development. He added that innovation remains essential as global conversations on automation and the future of work accelerate.
