Leaders in Cleantech #140 - Davor Sutija – NexWafe

What’s it all about?Solar. But not rooftops this time, the other end of the value-chain. Wafers are not only a large part of the cost of solar modules, producing them is also very energy intensive, and therefore carbon emitting. Through innovation in this part of the process Nexwafe hope to make the manufacture of solar modules, cheaper, cleaner, and to bring manufacturing at scale to Europe, North America, and India, and beyond. We need how much solar? We’re heading to Terawatt territory. We need innovations like this. Enjoy the episodeAbout Dr Davor Sutija:Dr. Davor Sutija's serial entrepreneurial goal is to inject radical go-to-market strategies into companies with potentially game-changing technology, repositioning them for success. He has shown the ability to help companies capture market share in a number of seminal industries, such as Enterprise Search, Photovoltaics, MEMS sensors, Printed Electronics and Industrial AI, and has a proven track record of success. Davor joined NexWafe in 2020 as CEO and has successfully secured $75M in private equity funding to assist with the company’s pivot to accelerate technology development with a view to rapid product commercialization. Previously, Davor was co-founder and CEO of SiNor AS, the sister company of ScanWafer in REC, and CEO of publicly traded Thinfilm. He was also SVP Enterprise Products at FAST, when it was acquired by Microsoft for $1.3B USD.

Leaders in Cleantech #137 - Akshat Rathi - Bloomberg News

What’s it all about?People, Policies and Technology. Unsung cleantech heroes, why we shouldn’t worry too much about Trump in the Whitehouse, at least where the IRA is concerned. I take a deep dive into the economic and technological drivers of the energy and mobility transition with Bloomberg Climate reporter and Author of Climate Capitalism, Akshat Rathi, it’s a great episode, Take a watch/listen.About Akshat Rathi:Akshat Rathi is an award-winning senior climate reporter for Bloomberg News.

He has worked for Quartz and The Economist.About Climate Capitalism: Our age will be defined by the climate emergency. But contrary to the doomist narrative that’s taken hold, the world has already begun deploying the solutions needed to deal with it.On a journey across five continents, Climate Capitalism tracks the unlikely heroes driving the fight against climate change. From the Chinese bureaucrat who did more to make electric cars a reality than Elon Musk, to the Indian entrepreneur showing how to deploy solar on a tight budget, or the American oil executive building the technology that can reverse climate damages, we meet the people working to scale technologies that are finally able to bend the emissions curve.Through stories that bring people, policy and technology together, Akshat Rathi reveals how the green economy is not only possible, but profitable.

Leaders in Cleantech #136 - Stephen Brittain - Insurtech Gateway

What’s it all about?The perhaps surprising insurtech solution to unlocking innovation and scaling for clean technology deployment. We've often discussed how business model innovation can be as important if not more so, than technological innovation. Fundability and risk can be inhibitors, can insurance innovation solve that problem? Take a listen as I explore this topic the with co-founder of Insurtech Gateway. About Stephen Brittain:Stephen co-founded the Insurtech Gateway in 2016,  using his 15 years of innovation experience to help bring disruptive insurtech businesses like FloodFlash, By Miles, Collective Benefits and IBISA to market.  Previously, as Hambro Perks first Creative Director, he supported their growing portfolio (including Sipsmiths, Laundrapp, Takumi, TheDots) through early-stage development and testing. This, combined with previous agency projects (including Native, SeymourPowell, BBC, Nike, DEFRA) gave Stephen a deep understanding of startups, strategic innovation and translating this to investors. As an avid designer and entrepreneur himself, Stephen has won several awards including Sunday Times Ski Product of the Year, for his map business MountMaps. Stephen is now focused on supporting Insurtech Gateway’s founders tackling complex climate and social challenges.About Insurtech Gateway: The specialist insurtech investor.

Leaders in Cleantech #135 - Bill Esterson - MP Shadow Minister

What’s it all about?Policy and government. For a long time I’ve said that the cleantech sector has done well despite, not because of politics and policy. I do however think that to truly scale we do need politicians and policies to support the energy and mobility transitions, and over the last years we have seen this increase. But we still have a deeply entrenched fossil fuel funded government in the UK, and in many partsof the world, and the Orange buffoon lurking again in the US.  I’ve recently seen a number of posts from the Labour Party, and Bill Esterson in particular that gave me hope for the UK at least, when and if they get elected. I thought I’d ask Bill to join me to share some thoughts, as a former entrepreneur turned Shadow Minister/Minister. A bit different but I hope you enjoy the episode. About Bill Esterson:Bill Esterson was first elected Labour MP for Sefton Central in 2010 and is Shadow Minister for Roads. His brief includes the automotive sector, roads and motoring, logistics, decarbonisation, air quality and integrated transport. Mr Esterson has previously served on the frontbench as Shadow Minister for Business and Industry, Shadow Minister for Small Business, and Shadow Minister for International Trade. He was a member of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Education, Housing, Communities & Local Government and Treasury Committees between 2010 and 2015, is Treasurer of the Tribune group of Labour MPs, chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, vice-chair of the All Party Group for Children in Care and Care Leavers, vice chair of the All Party Group on Carbon Capture and Underground Storage and vice-chair of the All Party Group on Hydrogen. Before entering Parliament, Mr Esterson started and grew a number of businesses between 1995 and 2010, alongside serving as a local councillor. He graduated from Leeds University in 1990 with BSc Hons in Maths and Philosophy and trained as an accountant after graduating.Social links:  Bill Esterson on LinkedIn: Bill Esterson | LinkedInBill Esterson on X: (16) Bill Esterson (@Bill_Esterson) / X (twitter.com)Bill Esterson website: Bill EstersonChapters: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Bill00:04:28 - Recovering from the financial crisis00:09:20 - Becoming a Clean Energy Superpower00:14:11 - Grid Connection Challenges in the UKAbout Hyperion Executive Search:Hyperion are a specialist executive search firm working with some of the most innovative cleantech companies in the world, helping to find extraordinary talent to enable their growth and success.
