The Challenge

Energy demand is outpacing the transition to affordable, clean energy. This gap is driven by numerous factors:

  • Insufficient planning and coordination at the local level between the public and private sectors. 
  • Resistance to energy projects among communities that are not engaged early enough in co-design and governance.
  • A shortage of skilled workers with required technical and management skills. 
  • Social and economic barriers to entrepreneurship like access to affordable growth finance and bigger projects, constraining innovation and scale potential.

The Opportunity

Rapid changes in AI technology, climate, geopolitics, and national security realities are ushering in an economic revolution. Simultaneously, these forces are compelling businesses and governments to create new value chains, and invest in localized strategies and sources of skills, supply, and business contracting. To unlock solutions at pace, organizations on every side of the equation need support to navigate the evolving economic landscape.
