Skander Garroum knew China was leading in Climate Tech infrastructure, manufacturing and products offerings, but was totally blown away during his recent trip when he went to go and see their edge first hand. Until you’re on the ground and have access to everything the country is developing, and until you experience what regular Chinese people see and do every day, you just can’t imagine how far ahead they are. This leads us right back to the same question: What do we in the West do now? Skander thinks he has the answer. Today we cover the highlights from his trip and where the West could go next.

We discuss:

1. How did China become the major player in Climate Tech controlling essential resources?

2. Building really big: China’s infrastructure buildout vs. the West’s approach

3. No one sells ‘eco’ in China – they’ve got something better

4. What the West could and should do next in Climate Tech
