Financial Times columnist Gillian Tett joins OVO founder Stephen Fitzpatrick to talk about about the future of climate tech at Giant Ideas.

In little over a decade Stephen has built OVO into one of the UK’s largest utilities, providing clean energy to 4.5 million customers.

As if OVO wasn’t enough to keep him busy, Stephen is also the founder of Vertical Aerospace, which aims to decarbonise air travel with electrically powered vertical take-off and landing aircrafts.

In this conversation, Stephen discusses why he thinks flying taxis will change how we move between cities, whether he thinks small modular reactors can play a big role in the energy mix, and why he thinks the last 5% of getting net zero will be the most painful.

Giant Ventures is a multi stage venture fund, co-founded by Cameron McLain and Tommy Stadlen. We recorded these first episodes at our live Giant Ideas summit, held at London’s Tate Modern. The Giant Ideas summit brings together 200 founders, CEOs, heads of state and other leaders to explore how we can harness cutting edge technology as a force for good.
