Chris Sacca, the serial tech investor behind Lowercase Capital and now founder of climate-focused Lowercarbon Capital, says the war in Ukraine has created a new impetus for European cleantech.
“One silver lining of the tragic war in Ukraine is that it highlights that Europe needs to be energy independent,” says the billionaire. “That has raised discussions around climate tech to true national and continental security scale.”
