Navigating the Circular Battery Economy with Felix Wagner, CEO and Co-Founder of Circunomics | Season Eight, Episode Two
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 Olivia Morgan and Nick McCullough sit down with Felix Wagner, CEO and Co-Founder of Circunomics, to uncover how the company is reshaping the future of batteries and championing a circular economy.
From tackling the complexities of battery analytics to navigating the challenges of scaling a business during a global pandemic, Felix reveals the bold steps Circunomics has taken to drive sustainability in the automotive and energy sectors. He shares how the company is helping major OEMs unlock the full potential of their batteries - without ever owning a single one - and why collaboration is the secret weapon for success in this fast-evolving industry.
Beyond cutting-edge technology, Felix reflects on the lessons learned from navigating a rapidly shifting regulatory landscape and the geopolitical dominance of China in battery production. With candid insights into the hurdles and triumphs of leading a cleantech startup, he offers a fresh perspective on how innovation and resilience are paving the way for a greener future.
