Introducing the Eagle Labs EnergyTech initiative
Radical innovation is needed to vastly improve how we harvest and consume energy for the future.
To help accelerate the development of the UK EnergyTech ecosystem, our EnergyTech initiative will bring all players together: startups, incumbents and industry institutions into a safe, innovative space to level up. Startups will learn domain expertise and incumbents will learn new technology, skills, culture and practices to deliver new business models, products and dynamics that lead us to a better future.

What we’re aiming to do and how
We will expose company leaders and startups founders to operators from the technology industry or X tech industries which have already been deeply affected by technology, like banking. In particular, we invite current operators to share their experience in the following four areas:
Build
Partner
Acquire
Invest
Over 12 months, monthly meetups, mentorship and executive training will teach new playbooks and strategies for innovation and digital product building. How? By mapping across the lessons learned from other X tech verticals and from the Venture Capital (VC) and technology industry.
Our Eagle Labs offer full-service design capabilities. As problems and opportunities are highlighted these teams will be there for startups and corporates to build, measure, learn and repeat. Likewise, investments, partnerships and acquisitions will be encouraged and supported on both sides by the team. As another large organisation operating in a highly regulated, heavily disrupted sector we are keen to share our own experiences as a practitioner rather than as consultants.
We’ve lived and are still living and evolving through many disruptions in the financial industry. What we’ve learnt has helped us create six growing industry vertical programmes: LawTech, HealthTech, AgriTech, AviationTech, Gaming and CreativeTech. Now in partnership with CodeBase, the UK’s largest technology incubator, we’re mapping this experience and success of these industries to EnergyTech.
