The global appetite for energy shows no signs of abating and at the same time the way we generate, manage and consume energy is changing. The Energy sector is a perfect example of an area riddled with challenges brought about by the complexities of the modern world, but ripe for innovation for the betterment of society, businesses, and individuals.
In Energy, the key question is how we will satisfy the growing requirements of a highly connected and power-hungry global population increasingly concentrated in urban environments entirely dependent on vulnerable power grids. And furthermore, how can we deploy innovation to solve the growing challenges of rising energy demand and carbon emissions, while also driving efficiency in transmission, distribution and consumption? And all this at the same time as increasing access to clean, reliable and safe electricity for the world’s poorest communities?
