The program, “A Fireside Chat on Climate Tech Innovations and Strategies,” will feature engineering leader Hans Jacob, Business Development Director for Energy Storage and Microgrid projects with Duke Energy.

“At Duke Energy, we are always looking ahead for innovative ideas that can help us better serve our customers and move the needle in clean tech,” said John Fremstad, Duke Energy Florida’s Economic Development Director of Innovation & Competitiveness. “We are happy to support the Tampa Bay Innovation Center's TECH Talk series, and we look forward to this opportunity to connect with the community and share how Duke Energy is advancing clean tech.”
