The world needs more and better innovation to solve climate, waste, and health problems in an increasingly tumultuous and uncertain world – not just the latest app, gadget, or software, but real deep tech innovation in energy, manufacturing, agrifood, resources, and more.

In this podcast, sustainable innovation experts Anthony Schiavo, Mike Holman, and Karthik Subramanian from Lux Research analyze the latest news and interview world-leading experts to navigate the technological, economic, political, and social trends that will determine what innovations succeed or fail.

Is US energy policy going to accelerate the energy transition – or is it actually, secretly, bad? This question lies at the heart of today’s episode, which sees Anthony, Karthik, and Mike joined by Dr. Arij van Berkel to discuss the recent US DOE Hydrogen Hub funding announcement.
