The disrupted energy transition

Will Russia’s invasion of Ukraine accelerate the clean energy transition to a net-zero society? It is impossible to ignore what is happening in Ukraine and the impact this will have on the country and its people in both the short and long term. Though the international sanction-led response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been significant and largely coordinated, it has needed to navigate one massive and inescapable issue ... energy. Despite their efforts to move to clean energy technologies, many countries, particularly in the EU, remain heavily dependent on Russian oil and gas.

Robotaxis to disrupt the market

It may happen sooner rather than later A global call for safe, sustainable urban and suburban environments with fewer emissions, reduced traffic, and affordable mobility means that traditional public transport operations must be complemented with affordable on-demand services for door-to-door travel. Electric, shared, and autonomous vehicles (AVs), such as robotaxis, can be a feasible solution to mobility challenges in many urban and suburban areas, although there are uncertainties regarding when this market will take off and how large it will be. Speed of adoption for robotaxis and the substitute of privately owned cars depend on advancements in technology, regulations, incentives, and customer adoption. Our analysis predicts a positive outlook for robotaxis, with scalable commercial services from 2024 and mass-market adoption to follow.

Growth in the new normal

Looking past the crisis for new opportunities In the words of John F.

After nearly two years of an unprecedented crisis, executives continue to struggle with the challenges of delivering near-term growth and profitability in a post-COVID-19 world. And this is not surprising: several trends — a persistently tight labor market, supply chain bottlenecks, and inflationary pressures — are likely to make the next several quarters difficult and volatile to navigate. However, keeping an eye on several long-term trends is essential for executives pursuing new growth opportunities.
