The climate crisis is a wicked problem that cannot be tackled by one company, industry, or even society alone — it requires collaboration between all these. 🤝💚 That's why we teamed up with the Energy Efficiency Movement to host a workshop bringing together brilliant minds from business, startups, and academia. 💡 Mika Männistö from ABB highlighted that there is no fast lane: "Many companies are tempted to jump straight to selecting the technology they feel is best for energy savings and skip building a roadmap. To me, this sounds like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without following the instructions – you're bound to waste time and risk costly mistakes." ❌ Read the whole article: https://lnkd.in/dUsZkj-v #sustainability #energysector #greenstransition #energyefficiency
