TSEP#162 Startup Deep Dive: How They Can Be a Driver of the Energy Transition

In this podcast we talk a lot to experts on regulatory
developments and frameworks, to representatives of large
organisations and associations. One thing we haven't really
covered in depth is the important role of startups in driving the
sustainable energy world. So in this episode, we want to find out
what significant role they play and what they need to be
successful and thrive with their contribution to a decentralised
energy supply with renewable energies. The road from an idea to a
successful business model is a long one. And the fundamental
problem for start-ups is often finding investors.  What
criteria do investors often use to decide whether to invest in an
energy start-up? And in which areas are there particularly many
start-ups or can they be particularly successful? Jan Lozek of
Future Energy Ventures tells us all about this and much more.
