The founder of Epic Cleantec, who comes from a diverse range of careers, emphasizes that his lack of conventional training has allowed for innovative solutions to emerge. The article highlights the importance of integrating business acumen into climate tech, arguing that significant transformation in industries requires collaboration between environmentalists and those experienced in scaling solutions globally.
