Pillar of Innovation
Energy
Why it's a focus for innovation:
- Global transition to clean energy: The world is moving from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
- Energy costs determine industrial competitiveness: Countries or companies with cheaper energy → more efficient production → competitive.
- National resilience: Energy is a geopolitical issue. Innovation here directly impacts national stability.
- The explosion of new technologies: AI, data centers, EVs—all of which are energy-hungry. Demand continues to rise.
