Welcome to the Energy Transition Solutions podcast — brought to you on the Oil and Gas Global Network by AWS Energy. This week our host Joe Batir talks with Hassane Kassouf, Head of Energy Innovation Programs at Amazon Web Services (AWS), about the Clean Energy Accelerator 2.0. As we see the world wanting to move more towards clean energy, the challenges in clean energy implementation become apparent. These challenges are best solved through collaboration, but often times start-ups only have a limited network of mentors and resources to overcome their respective challenges. Big energy organizations can also learn from startups and entrepreneurs how to integrate a startup innovation strategy. This is why AWS Energy started the clean energy accelerator, to facilitate and expedite solution development in the clean energy start-up space. On this episode, Joe and Hassane talk about the AWS culture of innovation, why AWS started the clean energy accelerator, what is different in the accelerator 2.0, and how companies can get involved. If you’re interested in applying for the accelerator program, the deadline is April 4th, 2022. Hassane’s book recommendations: Rebel Talent by Francesca Gino Lead and Disrupt by Charles A.
