The greatest opportunity you should be seeing! __"Today we have no excuses..."

A few months ago, I was invited by Bill Gates to attend an event in London called the Breakthrough Energy Summit where a few thousand entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, experts, and climate leaders from around the world gathered together to exhibit and discuss business and technology solutions to tackle various aspects of the Climate Crisis.

It was just amazing. It almost seemed that the entrepreneurs at that three-day Summit could see nothing but opportunities, and they were buzzing; so were investors!

You can find out more about it here:?https://www.breakthroughenergy.org/summit2024/. Take a look at the list of innovators and companies. If you haven't already done so, start #Imagining how you too can be part of the amazing [and Mission Critical] #Solutions being created. Africa can lead here! Serious #Entrepreneurs: please study each of the companies in the?Breakthrough Energy?(tag) website.?https://www.dhirubhai.net/company/breakthrough-energy/about/

Even if you don't think you're an entrepreneur yet, I encourage you to take a serious look at the #Innovations in progress. What do you #See?

The leader of an African country recently complained to me about the cost of importing fuel: “We spend $2bn a year buying petrol, which people just burn; surely there must be a better solution?” he said in despair.

I smiled and gave him some simple data points: “The city of Shenzhen in China (population 13,073,000) has about 4,3m vehicles. About 25% [1,08m] are NEVs [New Energy Vehicles]. What if you encouraged your entrepreneurs to build charging infrastructure powered by solar, throughout the country?" I asked. "Then you remove all taxes on importing electric vehicles. Perhaps within 10 years, you will no longer import petrol!”

He was shocked by my response: “So you see this problem as a huge opportunity?”

“Yes, I do.”

Then I shared with him some entrepreneurial opportunities that I could already “see”.

If I were starting out today, one of the businesses I would have long established is electric vehicle distribution. I remember being approached by one of the largest EV companies in China when it was really small, many years ago. I even looked into building a national network of charging centers to encourage people to buy electric.

In the end, I decided not to simply because I had too much on my plate, hoping that some young entrepreneurs would pick it up as I did with cell phones. Don’t disappoint now!

Get it done!

Today if you are so inclined, instead of simply commenting here on this platform, why don’t you draw up a list of some of the ventures you also can “See” from this climate crisis.?

And even better still, why not start a Climate/CleanTech business yourself?? Right where you are!

It is the biggest opportunity out there right now and investors are just so desperate to invest in it.

Bigger than AI?

Bigger WITH AI!
