#051 Hannah Scott - Climate Tech Supercluster

In this episode I spoke with Hannah Scott who is the co-founder of the Climate Tech Supercluster and also CEO of business network Oxfordshire Greentech, which aims to grow and support the county’s low-carbon economy. She is also an edie 30 Under 30 Class of 2023 winner, an initiative that aims to spotlight and support top UK sustainability professionals aged under 30. 
In this conversation we talked about:

1. What is the Climate Tech Supercluster and why is it needed?
2. How to cultivate hope when feeling despair when working on climate change?
3. What climate policies and investments we would like to see in the forthcoming uk general election?

Highlights include:

- Within 4 hours train travel of London is the Silicon Valley of Climate Innovation but nobody knows about it.
- Necessity is the mother of invention and we are in the most necessary period of history
- With climate policies, start with transport innovation as it’s the sector that requires the most behaviour change.
- Various Supercluster policies (e.g. Supercluster Visas, Green Patents) and projects (e.g. Oxford Industrial Decarbonisation Project, Net Zero Living)
