Podcast# 12: Innovating for the future
The EU’s transition to climate neutrality requires significant efforts from all economic sectors. A key requirement for sectors to move to more sustainable practices is the availability of alternative climate-friendly technologies. Developing these requires innovation and strong investments. How do you create the right conditions for innovation to flourish? What can be improved from our current circumstances?
To help us better understand the role of innovation in industry decarbonization, we are joined by Viktor Salenius, a researcher at Oxford University who works on innovation and the green transition in energy-intensive industries.
About the guest
Viktor Salenius is a doctoral researcher at the Said Business School, University of Oxford. His research focuses on how different organisations drive innovation for the green transition, especially in energy-intensive industry sectors such as steelmaking and hydrogen.
Specifically, the focus is on understanding different strategies of ventures to both collaborate and compete whilst seeking to transform entire industries and societies toward sustainability.

About the podcast series
Ever since the von der Leyen Commission launched the European Green Deal, European climate policy went into overdrive, and it seems like every week there is a new initiative.
To help you navigate, understand and unpack these complexities, GreenDeal-NET created a podcast in which researcher Jana Gheuens talks with leading climate experts about their work and insights. Topics range from the objectives of the Green Deal to climate adaptation and environmental movements.
