An interesting take from Freya Pratty in this Sifted article. 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒎𝒑'𝒔 𝒓𝒆-𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝑬𝒖𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒉? Let's hope so. We've all seen many climate tech companies heading to the 'Land of Opportunity', mainly for its subsidies but could that be about to change. Nobody knows, it is all speculation at the moment but I for one agree with Lena Thiede that Europe's green tech innovators have a huge role to play here, providing they step up and take action. And having worked closely with many European start-ups and leading climate tech VC's, there's still soo much untapped potential and funding available to scale and drive the drive the green transition on European shores. What are your thoughts? #climatetech #opportunity #politics #energytransition
