Why the energy transition is an innovation problem

Kevin Krausert, CEO and co-founder of Avatar Innovations, discusses his venture platform's unique approach to energy innovation by partnering major energy companies with entrepreneurs to solve real-world problems. He argues the energy transition is fundamentally an innovation challenge requiring industry collaboration rather than disruption, challenges the Silicon Valley investment model for hard technology, and makes the case that Canada's resource sector can drive both economic prosperity and emissions reduction technologies the world can afford.
