The sun is for everyone! We have been relying on fossil fuels for too long and our resources are getting scarce. The increasing world population demands a lot more energy than ever before. How can we keep generating energy without relying on fossil fuel reserves? Shifting to renewable sources like solar energy can help us generate energy without burning, thus having a positive environmental impact. With this transition now taking at full speed, everyone needs to be on board to join the renewable energy revolution.
Patrick is an entrepreneur with the mission to accelerate the global transition to sustainable, cheaper, and decentralized energy. He is the founder of solar energy supplier enie.nl and Regional Coordinator of Al Gore's Climate Reality Project in the Benelux.
Enie.nl is one of the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands and Patrick has been named several times as one of the top 100 sustainable young entrepreneurs in the Netherlands.
