What will we be discussing?

This webinar will help you better understand the investment opportunities in the Energy Transition space.

Reuben Wilcock, Head of Blackfinch Ventures, will spend time taking you through our Ventures offering to date and why we believe now is the right time to consider the Energy Transition theme. He will also talk through some examples of the exciting technology companies that can be found within the wide ranging Energy Transition theme.

Head of Energy Transition, Tim Wynn-Jones will set the scene for what the Energy Transition is, helping you to understand some of the driving forces that make this an exciting time to access growth opportunities. Tim will also take time to explain the investment framework we have put together which will help you understand the areas of the Energy Transition theme that we will and will not be investing in.

Both Reuben and Tim will be on hand to answer any questions you might have at the end of the presentation.

If you have questions that you’d like us to cover in the session, please send these to events@blackfinch.com
