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?
The smarter E podcast is all about the current trends and developments in a renewable, decentralized and digital energy industry. Our host welcomes and interviews personalities who shape our industry and drive developments forward. A new episode is published bi-weekly on Thursdays.
