The Implications for the Power Sector from Innovation by Startup Companies

We compiled a multi-regional database of 320 startups from 36 countries whose focus is on new technologies in the electricity sector. To reach this number, we performed internet searches with neutral key words such as ‘startups,’ ‘electricity,’ ‘innovation,’ and avoided searching for specific technologies to reduce biases. We used four languages for these searches: Arabic, Chinese, English and Spanish.
