Panel Speaker I
Renny Rochani, MT., PhD
Lecturer and Reseacher of Industrial Engineering and Techno-Economics Research Group, Industrial Engineering Dept. Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), Surakarta, Indonesia
Agenda: The rapid growth of innovative technology in electric energy storage and electric vehicles encourages the formation of a new ecosystem in the early supply chain, including technopreneurs and startups from manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors for commercialization. The development of electric vehicles with renewable energy systems itself can grow new business innovations. There is a huge requirement for developing new entities of businesses by relying on innovation to accommodate new technologies and engineering innovation, especially in applying electrical energy storage technology for electric vehicles. In this panel, it is hoped that the experts can discuss the following questions:
What is the growth and innovation of electric vehicles and energy storage technology? To what extent does a new start-up company can develop a new business innovation model in energy storage & vehicle electrification? What is the challenge that occurred in the business model of vehicle electrification and energy storage? What is the role of universities/research centers and the government in accelerating a new business innovation in electrical energy storage technology and electrification?
