This sounds like the perfect antidote to the AI hype cycle. Curious to hear Yael’s take on how startups can balance speed with sustainability especially when the market’s moving faster than ever. Any thoughts on which industries are most likely to see lasting transformations vs just temporary buzz?
While I don't have a short answer, I think most startups evolve in parallel evolutionary paths to some degree between discovery, multiple implementation tentatives, and deployment.
Most of those developing AI-based tools to address sustainability challenges require their stakeholders to approach progress across a three-angle framework to adapt new advanced/future-proof strategies:
- Technologies: AI, but also blockchain, cloud, and proper data management;
- Policies: Both public and private that are shaped to accelerate incentives;
- Markets: Clean hydrogen, long-duration energy storage, sustainable aviation fuel, direct air capture, manufacturing to decarbonize cement, steel, plastics, textiles, and fertilizers, to name a few.

Thank you, Sophia. It's a challenging question!
