In this episode, we had the immense pleasure to talk to Jonas Corné from Sweden. He is immensely bullish on renewable energy for many reasons that he shared with us.
After getting an excellent education at ETH Zurich and even an executive program at Stanford University, Jonas has started a string of companies. All of his business ideas were in the tech space. As these things go, not all of them survived, but that is a really good thing for us, because with his latest venture, Greenbyte Jonas and his team of around 80 people are now fighting climate change with code!
Jonas is the CEO and founder of Greenbyte, which launched its first product in 2010. Greenbyte is a data aggregator and management hub for the optimization and yield forecasting for different kinds of renewable energy.
