Hamlet Tunyan, CEO, RECOM Technologies
With the increasing demand for energy day by day, global power generation is continuing to rise and is vastly responsible for polluting our world. The environmental and climate challenges require a profound transformation of the global energy system to ‘greener’, environmentally friendlier solutions. Incepted in 2007, RECOM Technologies is a Renewable Energy Company that has become an important source of green energy, spearheading the growth of the solar industry. While RECOM was a niche segment of the broader energy industry then, today, it is a growing rapidly source of power across the globe. One of the co-founders and currently the CEO of the company, Mr. Hamlet Tunyan saw the potential for growth of this renewable industry as the international community had just begun to understand the negative consequences of the heavy reliance on fossil fuels on the environment and geopolitical matters.
