Revolution is a brewing. In two weeks, we will be in the midst of our second Cleantech Revolution Tour conference in Berlin, and our 4th overall. We have a tremendous lineup of speakers and panelists scheduled for Berlin and Wroclaw, and a unique format that will result on some practical end products.
Additionally, this year’s series brings “tour” into the agenda in a deeper way — with each conference held in two cities.
We continue to line up wonderful, world-leading speakers for our coming Cleantech Revolution Tour conference in Berlin and Wrocław. We have 5 new blockbuster presenters to announce today.
CleanTechnica’s next Cleantech Revolution Tour is approaching, and it is packed with EV and clean energy leaders from around Europe.
Starting in Berlin (Germany) on June 27 (special networking activities), continuing on June 28 in Berlin (panel discussions and presentations), offering shuttle rides from Berlin to Wroclaw in a Tesla (first come, first served), and ending on June 29 in Wroclaw, Poland (panel discussions and presentations), the Berlin + Wroclaw edition of the 2017 Cleantech Revolution Tour — The Future Is Now: Surf The Cleantech €-Wave — will be focused on how to best invest your time and money into the cleantech future.
CleanTechnica and GridHub jointly organized three conferences last year — in Berlin (Germany), Leipzig (Germany), and then Wroclaw (Poland). We had wonderful attendees, fascinating presentations and panel discussions, great partners, and a ton of fun. So, we decided to launch a big series of conferences in the coming year to keep the cleantech inspiration rolling.
Cities are where most of the world’s people live, and they can make the move toward cleantech and away from burning up the planet go much, much — much — faster. In fact, some policies could trump critical levers like ZEV mandates, and if adopted broadly, make the ZEV transition happen faster than most of us think possible.
Poland is infamous among climate hawks within Europe (including within Poland). As I say, unfortunately, it is like the Tea Party wing of the European Union. With approximately 90% of electricity coming from coal, the coal lobby is hugely powerful here — so deeply powerful that extremely smart and thoughtful people are indirectly misinformed by this industry. There’s also a strong anti-science trend here — on climate science as well as some other matters. If climate progress in the EU is blocked, it’s very likely blocked by Poland.
LG Chem has begun construction on a new lithium-ion battery production facility outside of Wrocław, Poland, home of CleanTechnica director Zach Shahan and home of the Cleantech Revolution Tour conference taking place this weekend. Once completed (by the end of 2018), the facility will represent the first mass production plant … [continued]
In case you didn’t catch word, I’ve been nearly invisible here on CleanTechnica for the past few weeks because our 2nd daughter (Julia) was just born on September 9 and I’ve been playing mommy + daddy to our 2-year-old daughter Lily for a few weeks, while also trying to help mommy + … [continued]
As many of you know, CleanTechnica and GridHub have been partnering on Cleantech Revolution Tour conferences for the past several months. The first conference was in Berlin and the second was in Leipzig, Germany. We are holding the next conference in Wrocław, Poland (where I’m currently living). We’re also expecting this to be our … [continued]
Originally published on EV Obsession. As I just wrote, two Polish cities (Kraków and Wrocław, where I live) are each planning to launch 200-car electric carsharing programs. Furthermore, a startup is aiming to launch electric carsharing in Poznan, Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Tricity, and Łódź; and I’m working with a few top-notch gents to … [continued]
