This month we explore some of the latest game-changers and disruptive innovations in the healthcare and energy sectors.
As revolutionary drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic disrupt the weight loss industry, what could this mean for investors? Which areas of the estimated $224bn–and growing–weight loss and diet management industry will be impacted?
Sinopec’s ambitious hydrogen project promises to dramatically cut production costs for green hydrogen – we look at the related factors and potential industry impact of this new investment.
Also on the energy front, incumbents and startups in the clean energy space need to be monitoring Tesla Energy as it continues to send shockwaves through the power industry with its leading-edge innovations in green energy storage.
And as growth in EVs persistently drive demand for batteries, we discuss the geopolitical aspects of battery component commoditization, particularly considering China’s dominance in critical minerals and the escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing.
Finally, in the true spirit of spring and new beginnings, we are excited to announce that we have now moved into our new, state-of-the-art office space in Noida, India, designed to foster creativity and collaboration to better serve our clients.

Is Sinopec Leading the Charge in Lowering the Cost of Hydrogen?
Chinese energy giant, Sinopec, claims to be significantly cutting production costs for renewable hydrogen with the construction of the world’s largest green hydrogen project, the Erdos Wind-Solar Green Hydrogen Project. The hydrogen industry faces several challenges as it scales to meet demand, but the key barrier is cost. Renewable hydrogen is two to three times more expensive to produce than fossil-based hydrogen plants. Will Sinopec’s project impact the global green energy market enough to radically change the economics of hydrogen production. Read more…
Demand for Minerals Surge as Battery Manufacturers Flock to North America
