Episode description

In this week's episode, we're joined by Alexandre Crépault, Sales & Operations Lead at Climate X, who lets us in on how he's helping to build a better future for our planet.

We start the episode off with a piece on 'How Clean and Climate Tech Became a Good Investment,' where he describes how the current global challenges are impacting the markets, changing the priorities of investors and banks broadly.

Alexandre points out how "the structure of climate tech differs a lot from traditional tech investing" as we dive into this next piece on where climate tech meets global venture capital.  

"The simplest way to answer it is that AI alone is definitely not going to solve the climate crisis, and it shouldn't," Alexandre explains as we discuss how AI can fight climate change and its limitations. 

Climate X is helping organisations become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, unlocking the power of climate data to assess the probability and severity of weather events decades before they even happen.

The conversation leads us to find out what Alexandre believes to be the evilest application of tech and his big prediction for the tech for good space this year and beyond.
