CLICK TO WATCH : ‘ EIT INNOENERGY – WE ARE BUILDING THE WORKFORCE ’
39 business . Despite current trends to prioritise digital transformation , InnoEnergy are not channelling their funding towards one marketable technology . The firm is aiming to invest in a variety of businesses which offer a range of solutions across the energy spectrum . “ There are many people that are really in love with technology , and will focus spending on it . For us , it ’ s more unique – we are not betting on one single solution . There is no one proven ballot that sorts all the world ’ s sustainability problems . That in general is our philosophy , and you can see it in our portfolio ,” says Bou .
To drive sustainability , the firm is also striving to ensure women receive the same opportunities as men , both within the energy market and its own business . This is something Bou feels very passionately about : “ Where do women sit within the energy transitions ? The same place as men . It ’ s not a question of gender , it ’ s a question of the individual and their skills . At the end of the day , despite all the technology innovations , we are impacting people ’ s lives and it ’ s important that the right people are doing so .”
