Shifting my  focus:  to  some ideas for  boostingthe green  competitiveness of eMobility

• Have  heard about Norwegian  eMobility effort and  success• Norway  is  the eMobility superpower – at  least 5  years ahead• 60  000  eVehicles and  drivers/owners/learners;  extremely knowledgeable "lab  rats"• Ruter,  public transport  provider   in  Oslo  region  (56%  of Norway)  is  fossil  free 2020

• But little focus on value creation and  jobs,  so  far  – Why?• Yes,  we do  not  have  car makers,  but the shift is  so  much,  much more  …

• Some ideas about how to  boost green  competitiveness by  combining:– unique pool  of user experience– world's largest living lab– effective innovation methods,   open innovation– the right  players
