WePower Announces Creation of Advisory Board

WePower,
the blockchain based green energy financing and trading platform,
announces today that it is creating a Board of Advisors. WePower has
been very fortunate to have attracted the interest of such an all-star
list of Advisors up to this point, and the creation of a formal Board of
Advisors will only help fuel the further growth and expansion of the
WePower vision for a greener Smart Grid.

Members to the WePower advisory board will be led by entrepreneur Peter
Diamandis, founder and chairman of the X Prize Foundation and an
Executive Founder of Singularity University. Other board members, who
have been at the forefront of showcasing and predicting the change
driven by IT, include:

• Maja Vujinovic: CEO of OGroup, ex-Chief Innovation Officer of Emerging
  Tech at GE Digital, and one of the most influential women in the
  blockchain industry
• Trevor Townsend: Managing Director at Startupbootcamp Energy
  Australia, who has successfully exited several businesses in the
  energy sector in Australia
• You (Ricky) Li: Ex-CME energy derivative product manager, experienced
  energy and cryptocurrency trader

This group will be joined on occasion by some of WePower’s original
advisors who will continue to support and counsel WePower through the
next stage of its development.

“It is great to be joining. I’m passionate about exponential
technologies and I’m passionate about creating abundance in the world,
and one of the things that I have really enjoyed about WePower and its
vision is the idea that we are heading towards the world of abundant
energy, true renewable sources,” said Peter Diamandis. “I think the team
is very solid and has diverse expertise that has helped contribute to
the success of WePower up to this point. The work the company is already
doing in Spain, Australia and Estonia is proof of that.”

“It is very exciting to see that WePower has a capability to provide
decentralized financing options for renewable energy projects. We are
living in a world that is hungry for economic empowerment of larger
populations, and the WePower team is strongly positioned to work with
current leaders in the energy market and make it a success for all
players,” said Maja Vujinovic. “It is key to recognize that the biggest
change and impact might not come from creating something completely
innovative but making our current systems more optimal for larger use,
which is what WePower is doing.”

“I believe the WePower team is at the forefront of an electricity market
transition from fossil fuel to renewable. The intermittent nature of
electricity generation and difficulty in financing have been the
obstacle of renewable adoption worldwide. WePower's financing model and
tokenized generation targets at this essential issue with a brilliant
blockchain-based solution,” said Ricky Li. “This is a stellar team with
a good track record in renewable industry. I am very excited to walk the
journey with them and leverage my knowledge in energy trading and risk
management.”

“It is a memorable day for WePower. We are fortunate that global
business leaders and innovators, with a strong expertise in technology,
energy and blockchain, a clear vision about the future and an extensive
network, have joined the WePower Advisory Board,” said Artūras
Asakavičius, co-founder and COO of WePower.
