For our first live in-person episode of the CBC Podcast, our host made the long journey to Vancouver, BC, Canada to speak with Moment Energy's CEO, Edward Chiang.

With safety at their centre, Edward alongside his co-founders have deliberately built their culture, and believe that THIS is the key to success. Edward shares their journey to-date, from starting in a garage, to raising their recent Series B round and moving into their new Megafactory (where this episode was recorded).

Their solution is critical to building a greener future and their mission is inspiring.

Paul Lichty, Forge Nano's CEO joins me once again, after much change since our previous episode together almost 2 years ago. Their partnership with SamsungSDI is game changing not just for Forge Nano, but for the industry. The dynamic of this collaboration is truly pioneering, it hasn't been done before! Paul talks me through the architecting of the SamsungSDI partnership along with his outlook for it. He also shares his best lessons and insights gained whilst building Forge Nano over the past 15 years, as well as his ambitions for their future IPO.

Asma Sharafi, the CTO of Ensurge joins me to talk about their solid-state microbattery solution for many applications such healthcare, wearables, hearables and connectivity. Asma comes from an EV and eVTOL background, where manufacturing scalability is challenging to say the least! Asma shares the transition, the outlook for this microbattery technology and why it's so scalable. We also talk about why she joined, her outlook for the future, product demand, talent, intellectual property and much more.
