We're on spring break this week. So we're offering a replay of an earlier episode -- it's all about pivots.Did you know that Nokia started out as a paper mill in Finland? Or that Nintendo once made instant rice? Many of the world's leading companies start out in radically different markets.Cleantech is the same. Sales cycles are often slow, technologies don't work as planned, and customer needs are constantly evolving. In the tumultuous world of energy, companies pivot all the time.On this week's episode of The Interchange, we celebrate the pivot.We'll look back throughout history and choose the most successful and unsuccessful pivots of all time. What do they tell us about how to succeed in this market?Recommended reading:<ul><li><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonnazar/2013/10/08/14-famous-business-pivots/" target="_blank">Forbes</a>: 14 Famous Business Pivots</li><li><a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-a-florida-utility-became-the-global-king-of-green-power-1529331001" target="_blank">Wall Street Journal</a>: How a Florida Utility Became the Global King of Green Power</li><li><a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-sunedison-collapse-20160504-story.html" target="_blank">LA Times</a>: How SunEdison Went From Wall Street Star to Bankruptcy</li><li><a href="https://www.vestas.com/en/about/profile#!history" target="_blank">Vestas</a>: The History of Vestas Wind Turbines</li><li><a href="https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/lessons-from-the-great-algae-biofuel-bubble" target="_blank">GTM</a>: Hard Lessons From the Algae Biofuel Bubble</li></ul>Subscribe to The Interchange podcast via <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-interchange/id1221460035?mt=2" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Irjvuwpced3xvf7yd46j4qu2yui" target="_blank">Google Play</a>, <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-interchange" target="_blank">Stitcher</a> or wherever you find your audio content.See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

Replay: Ode to the Pivot!

Clean tech, green finance and energy innovation are the three lanes on the road to a successful global energy transition. At the intersection of these lanes is a place where ideas on finance, technology and policy are shared and debated. That intersection is&nbsp;Interchange Recharged.While Sylvia Leyva Martinez, principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie, is on maternity leave, Bridget van Dorsten, a principal analyst on Wood Mackenzie's hydrogen team, will be hosting this podcast, Interchange Recharged. When Bridget is not researching global market dynamics to craft near and long-term forecasts for low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives she is speaking with visionaries, entrepreneurs, policy-makers and energy analysts to explore the newest developments in renewable technology, explain the ideas on global energy policy that could accelerate the energy transition, and identify new funding and financial models that could solve the biggest challenges we face on the way to net zero.Bridget and her guests bring you data and forecasts on clean technology, climate science, and offer predictions on the build out of utility-scale projects and the future of green finance.What impacts do the annual UN Conference of the Parties have on decarbonisation goals and climate change? What will COP30 bring? What’s happening in global EV adoption and development? What’s the forecast for solar energy, one of the major success stories of renewable energy in the last ten years? What does the data tell us about the future of hydrogen, of nuclear, or of low-carbon power?&nbsp;&nbsp;These are examples of the insights and detailed analyses you can expect bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 7am ET.
