The Future of Energy: What Will the Transition Look Like?
The transition to a low-carbon economy is in its very early days. The reality is that fossil fuels are still the most efficient, ubiquitous, reliable and affordable energy solutions available today. Understanding that a transformation of our energy system of this magnitude won’t happen overnight. In this presentation, Greg wil discuss technologies and issues that are having an impact now or are near on the horizon as we move to cleaner, smarter and attainable energy alternatives.
Corporate Venturing: The Arms Race for the Best Cleantech Opportunities
New clean technologies are crucial to helping companies reduce their energy and water use, emissions, and waste production per unit of revenue. This has led, in the words of one venture capitalist, to “an arms race for the best cleantech opportunities” with more corporations becoming interested in early-stage investments and strategic partnerships. Gain valuable insight into the future of investing in green innovations, and how companies are strategically partnering with early-stage innovators.
