🚀 Projects Update: Recently led a Go-To-Market Workshop at EIT ClimAccelerator, a global initiative empowering startups to scale their climate solutions, powered by EIT Climate-KIC CEE. 🌍 In the fast-paced world of innovation, a brilliant idea alone won't cut it. Success hinges on how you bring your vision to market. Last month's workshop delved into the nitty-gritty of Go-To-Market strategy, tackling simple yet crucial questions such as what, who, where, how, and why. 🔍 Explored topics included market research, customer understanding, competitive advantage, business model decisions, and sales & marketing planning. Attendees gained practical insights, effective tactics for understanding their audience, and the framework for a comprehensive marketing & sales plan. Thank you Ksenja Jaklič, for the invitation. Looking forward to the consulting sessions with the attendees of the program.

Its an honour to be mentioned on this list HolonIQ Our revolutionary Sponge captures hydrocarbons (pollutants) at the source before environmental damage is done, they are then recycled, and the sponge is reused and repurposed, thus reducing landfill.

2023 has been a year of many milestones for us, but being recognized among a cohort of such incredible peers has really moved me. This is also a year where several high-value hydrogen deep techs have shifted toward scale across each of the Three Pillars in Australia including our friends at Hysata in Production, us at Rux Energy in Storage & Distribution / Midstream, and Dovetail Electric Aviation in End-Use/Downstream. Australia punching above it's weight in discovery and tech dev. Very exciting times.
