Summary
In this episode, Kevin and Tim take a deeper look at the business side of sustainability, hearing from entrepreneurial experts, Damien Glanville and Sandra Brodie. Damien and Sandra are cofounders of Powershift Technologies - Australian clean tech company that supports industries in decarbonizing through emission-free power solutions. They’re partnered with POWR2 to bring the POWRBANK MAX to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands region. We discuss their backgrounds in the energy industry and the market gaps that led to Powershift, including the declining energy grid. Both Damien and Sandra emphasize the importance of providing service excellence and partnering with customers to analyze their data, propose the right solution, deploy the technology, and provide ongoing support. Education is key in the Australian market and proof of the product will be essential for boosting adoption. We also discuss the importance of showing real-world examples and learning from other countries in this continuously evolving marketplace.
