How do you decarbonize the world's most emissions-intensive industries at the speed climate science demands? The scale and urgency of the transformation required to fight climate change has never been more clear. Building hardware and software products, acquiring the funding and creating a diverse community to enhance talent capacity and to drive innovation, is essential to tackling this global environmental crisis. In this podcast, host Silicon Valley Bank (a division of First Citizens Bank) Climate Tech & Sustainability SVP Maggie Wong will be interviewing Calectra CEO & Co-Founder Pauliina Meskanen to discuss decarbonizing heavy industries' manufacturing processes with thermal batteries to store high temperature heat, the role of customer discovery to building and scaling a product, and the importance of choosing the right partners and building relationships with trust and value creation.
