Kang Jen Wee is the Founder and CEO of a renewable tech start-up based in Singapore. He started his career in the Renewable business since 2007 with Solar equipment manufacturer Applied Materials. In his tenure in Applied, he closed several equipment sales deals with some of the biggest global solar players including Q-Cells, MEMC, and Sunpower.

In 2014, he moved upstream to join REC Solar, the biggest Solar module manufacturer in Europe with manufacturing base in Singapore. In REC, he was instrumental in developing the first hybrid (Solar with Grid) electricity product partnering with Electricity Retailer PacificLight (JV of Petronas, Meralco and Pacific Investments). Subsequently, he moved on to head up the North Asia market for REC, whereby he closed the first foreign module supply deal in Taiwan with Equis, the largest IPP in Asia.

In 2018, Jen Wee sees the strong growth for renewable energy in Asia but also a disconnect between investors and renewable energy off-takers. With his experience in the renewable business, and the strong conviction to drive green adoption in Asia, he decided to start up T-RECs.ai to link up buyers and sellers of renewable electricity.
