CU-Denver GEM Speaker Series:

Steve Katasaros, Nokero

Come see Steve Katasaros demonstrate and provide an overview of Nokero's solar powered, LED light bulbs, the only one like it in the world!

From his earliest days, Stephen Katsaros’ life has been filled with innovation. A mechanical engineer with a penchant for competitive ski racing, Steve began his colorful career with the invention of several commercial products for the ski industry. His first brush with “impact inventing” came in 2002 with RevoPower, a motorized wheel for bicycles. In early 2010, he came up with another bright idea – a simple, portable solar light bulb with the potential to revolutionize life for the 1.4 billion people in the world who live without access to electricity. Five months after his first sketch, Steve launched Nokero, a for-profit company that designs affordable solar technology solutions expressly for poor, off-grid communities around the world. He currently holds the title of Chief Inventor and CEO of Nokero International. Stephen has a BS in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) from Purdue University, is a patent agent registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and was a non-degree seeking student at the Bard Center of Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado from 1998-1999. He received the B.F. Goodrich Collegiate Inventors Award in 1995.
