PUF's Steve Mitnick: Is there something going on at GTI Energy that is going to be impactful?
Erin Blanton: We've started putting a lot of value on collaboration with our industry partners, which are key, and well beyond.
A lot of innovation is not just about the technologies and the people behind them, it's also about consensus from across sectors on what we're collectively trying to achieve. We started to understand that having collaborations that bring in academics, NGOs, investors, and a wide variety of participants can help alleviate polarization.
