Whether you're a business leader, a policy maker, or simply someone interested in the future of our planet, "The Third Industrial Revolution" offers valuable insights and a clear vision of a sustainable and prosperous future. It's a thought-provoking read that challenges us to rethink our relationship with energy and technology.
I now just came across this good teaser from a Swedish company website and let me copy this in here
"OUR GOAL: A DEMOCRATIC, DECENTRALISED AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY MARKET
That sounds big. And so it is. But really still quite simple. Let's start from the beginning.

The energy market is currently undergoing the biggest changes since the wave of liberalisation in the 1990s. Electricity grids are being digitalised. Society is electrified. New players are stepping in and bringing innovations, know-how and flexibility to the system. Renewable energy is growing strongly and is maturing into a stable resource and profitable business for everyone from municipal energy companies and industries to private individuals and solar and wind power owners. Soon, cars, boats, houses and industries will be connected to the electricity market and, with the help of batteries and smart algorithms, act as at least as important stumbling blocks in the electricity system as the faithful servants of hydro and nuclear power.
Decentralisation. Democratization. A world where everyone can contribute to making sustainability the new normal.
The question is: how can energy companies, industries, battery owners, and solar and wind power owners make money from this development? What new products and services are hiding on the road to the future?
We know that. Our business concept is to help companies become profitable players in an increasingly decentralised energy market. Our whole thing is to take advantage of the changes in the energy market to create profitable and sustainable business for our customers from investments in renewable energy. Andwe do it through the industry's best and most in-depth market insight."
So question to my network, any guess which company this is from?
