Description

With Ukraine’s energy scene dominated by monopolistic utilities that leave little room for innovation, green entrepreneurs Andrij and Roman Zinchenko decided to spearhead a green energy revolution in their country. In 2009, the brothers formed Greencubator, a Ukrainian NGO supporting sustainable entrepreneurship, low-carbon innovations, and green economy development in Ukraine and other former Soviet republics. Since then, Greencubator has started a variety of successful programs that promote green energy, launched the country’s first municipal energy co-operative, and is currently running Ukraine's largest grant program for climate entrepreneurs. Join Professor Buzz Thompson’s conversation with Andrij and Roman to hear how their efforts promote the goal of energy freedom and energy democracy in Ukraine.
