Driving Renewable Energy Development with Josef Kastner, Partner & CEO, and Chloe Durieux, Partner & CDO at Nexun | Season Eight, Episode Seven
Welcome to Season Eight of Conversations in Cleantech!
From inspiring stories and words of wisdom to conversations on overcoming obstacles and fostering innovation, you can expect to learn from the trailblazers who are navigating the complexities of change to build a cleaner, more sustainable future.
In this episode of Conversations in Cleantech, our hosts Jessica Pearce and Tom Briscoe sit down with Josef Kastner, Partner & CEO, and Chloe Durieux, Partner & CDO at Nexun, to explore how they’re shaping the future of renewable energy development across Europe.
From navigating the complexities of large-scale solar and wind projects to scaling a business across multiple countries, Josef and Chloe share their journey of building Nexun with a vision beyond just megawatts - it’s about people, innovation, and impact.
They discuss the importance of fostering a strong, inclusive company culture, where teams are empowered, and local communities play an integral role in the energy transition. The conversation also dives into the shifting regulatory landscape, the rise of hybrid renewable energy solutions, and why adaptability is the key to thriving in a constantly evolving sector.
As the renewables industry faces new challenges - grid saturation, policy fluctuations, and increasing project complexity - Josef and Chloe highlight why agility, collaboration, and a human-first approach are critical to navigating change.
