About Us

Striving to make the world a little better, one step at a time — that’s the essence of brightbyte.

Brightbyte is a project of Enactus, the world’s largest volunteer student non-profit organization with projects all over the world. Our aim is to help self-help through entrepreneurial and ecological approaches and to sustainably improve the standard of living and the quality of life of people in need of help.

Founded in 2016, our team now consists of 8 students studying at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences. Our members bring a diverse range of expertise to the table, spanning from industrial and electrical engineering to mechatronics, optics, and photonics. Currently, our efforts are channeled through four main departments: Marketing, Partnermanagement, Finance and Technical Support. Together, we are commited to bringing affordable, reliable and sustainable digital education solutions to rural communities, while empowering local residents through access to technology and renewable energy.
