I am thrilled to see the existing partnership between European Investment Bank and Breakthrough Energy strengthen with the signing of this MOU today. Global collaboration like this has the power to bring the clean energy solutions we need to communities around the world.
Thank you, Werner Hoyer and European Investment Bank for a partnership that is indeed based on a joint commitment to drive #innovation in a new generation of #cleantech , accelerating the #energytransion that Europe and the world so ostensibly need. #climate #energysecurity
Constructive and inspiring meeting with Bill Gates We talked about our common priorities and the current geopolitical situation, climate and energy issues and the role of innovation in achieving a more sustainable future.

The launch of this coalition is supported by Breakthrough Energy Energy founded by Bill Gates and Kadri Simson, Commissioner for Energy at the European Commission 🇪🇺. Their presence and support shows that scaling up cleantech has become a strategic priority for Europe and the world.
Simply put, we lack the financial muscle, demand shock and regulatory clarity to build the next generation of European industry. To solve this scale-up challenge, 8 leading European #cleantech companies across sectors and member states are forming a new coalition.
NEW Cleantech Scale-up Coalition launched in presence of Bill Gates and #EU Commissioner for Energy: With combined #climate + #energysecurity crisis, #cleantech #scaleups have never been more needed. Now they have a platform to amplify their ambition, vision & frontier spirit.
Thank you again, Ann Mettler and Breakthrough Energy for this very nice event. Shiva, Ale and I had a great time.
Breaking: Singapore's Temasek invests in Breakthrough Energy Energy Ventures 'Select Fund', as announced at #besummit22 . It will address a key financing gap that currently exists as companies transition from #startup - to #scaleup phase.

Huge kudos to Breakthrough Energy Bill Gates for such a stimulating 2 days of discussion about how to accelerate the energy transition. And thx to the incomparable Ann Mettler for inviting me to share thoughts on how we turn today’s energy crisis into an opportunity to make it happen.
What a way to wrap up #BESummit22 ! Convening European friends and collaborators for a fascinating discussion about how to accelerate #cleantech #innovation in 🇪🇺. Huge thanks to special guest Jean-Christophe Laloux from European Investment Bank, as well as all other guests.
Great pleasure to discuss closer transatlantic cooperation on emerging #cleantech with John Kerry in the margins of #BESummit22 .
The first day of our #BESummit2022 addressed the state of the energy transition – where we’ve been and the Five Grand Challenges we must focus on to reach net-zero emissions.
See the thread below for a recap of our day:
Businesses, governments, and investors are ready to create a clean energy economy. In his State of the Energy Transition, Bill Gates calls for collaboration to develop innovative, affordable, and accessible solutions to drive the transition. gatesnotes.com/Energy/2022-St…
