Navigating the Unique Recruitment Market in Germany and Europe for Solar, Wind and Battery Projects

The smarter E Podcast Episode 209 | March 20, 2025 | Language: English

In our The smarter E podcast, we talk to Tom Essex, co-founder and managing partner of Kigyo Solution, about how the energy transition will accelerate the demand for labor. With the European Green Deal now being linked to the Clean Industrial Act, it's crucial to monitor its impact on the labor market.


The energy transition and the expansion of production capacity in the EU could require over a million new jobs by 2030, at a time when the industry is already struggling with labor shortages. We want to know how the problem can be solved, what models exist and what appropriate support for the industry could look like?
