ESEIA President, Brian Norton, on ESEIA’s Strategic Vision, Horizon Europe, and Global Collaboration

The latest episode of the Sustainable Energy Insight Podcast, produced by ESEIA, features a compelling conversation with Brian Norton, President of ESEIA.

In this episode, Brian reflects on how Europe’s research and innovation landscape is evolving under the European Commission’s growing focus on competitiveness, market relevance, and real-world impact. He discusses what this shift means for future Horizon Europe consortia, the role of industry across the full supply chain, and the importance of ensuring that fundamental research continues to thrive alongside more applied, market-oriented projects.

The conversation also explores underutilised sustainable energy technologies, the challenges of translating research into deployment, and the critical role of international collaboration, particularly with Africa and other emerging regions, in building resilient, inclusive innovation ecosystems.
