I’ve met Christian Chudoba at the last couple of Ecosummit events in Berlin, and his business is a perfect reflection of how energy is being digitalised and democratised, and how useful and influential learning from the telecoms and mobile communications transition can play a huge part in the energy and mobility transitions. Christian tells the […]
What’s it all about? This week I catch up with Alisa Murphy of Life Size, and extract a confession from her early pre-Cleantech career. We discuss her start-up journey and challenges, including the opening overseas business units. We also chat about her tips and advice for any cleantech company on how to manage your communications, […]
What’s it all about? This week I travel to one of my favourite cities, Berlin, in a balmy 36C degree heat, to meet sonnen CEO Christoph Ostermann. The sonnen story is a highlight of the cleantech sector, from bootstrapping, through many rounds of fundraising, to a significant sized acquisition from Shell. I’m delighted to have […]
What’s it all about? This week I’m in Berlin, speaking at the 10th anniversary Ecosummit, and took the opportunity to record this podcast on the banks of the Spree, with leading cleantech investor Petr Mikovec, or Inven Capital. I think his insights into what an investor is looking for before investing is invaluable to any […]
What’s it all about? I was fortunate to be invited to Daimler HQ to record a short video with Sabine, whilst also in Stuttgart to attend the Electric and Hybrid vehicle trade show and conference. Sadly whilst we got to film, schedules for the podcast got delayed, so we recorded this via mobile a few […]

Solar panels and wind turbines are the poster boys and girls of the clean energy revolution, but huge impacts can be made with far less visible technologies. That’s what I discuss with Berlin based start-up Nuventura, and their Co-Founder […]
What’s it all about? Last time I saw Logan was in a pub around the corner from Euston station, London, just before he moved to California to take up his present role with BNEF. Logan’s knowledge and experience in the global energy storage market is second to none, and we explore his thoughts on market […]
What’s it all about? Some things make you feel old. Meeting Martijn Lammers, and fellow C0-Founder and CEO Lex Hoefsloot at their Eindhoven site was just one such thing. Martijn, at 28 years old is one of the ‘oldies’ in the founding team. Their soon to be launched (June 19) solar powered car is amazing to […]
What’s it all about? It was very flattering when a Google Moonshot company, invested in by Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos funded Breakthrough Energy Ventures, called to ask for help to scale their team. I took the opportunity whilst in Boston, MA, meeting the team, to record this episode with CEO Ramya Swaminathan, and to […]
What’s it all about? On route to Boston, via London, I took the opportunity to meet Javier Cavada at the Highview Power offices in central London. We thought we might be able to break some big news, but alas that will have to wait for a future episode, but nonetheless we had a great conversation […]
