Description: Energy companies are under great pressures to make transition from traditional fossil energy to renewable energy. In this course, we will discuss why companies take different strategies in managing the transition, how they use corporate venture capital (CVC) investments to tap into technologies and business opportunities in the renewable sectors, and how they balance between their traditional businesses and the renewable businesses. We will also discuss how startups in the renewable sectors manage their relationships with their CVC investors.
