TEDxBrainport 2012 - Making the Future

Egbert-Jan Sol asks us who will be the next ASML? He proposes that it will be A Solar Machine Leverancier. Advances in solar power are already driving the costs of solar energy to the point where investing now will generate a 10% return on investment -- more than you will get if you put your money in the bank. We will also soon be generating more energy than we can use so the ability to store the excess will be the next challenge. He believes that we have the knowledge here in Brainport to build the solution and the industry!

At TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos -- or a combination of live presenters and TEDTalks videos -- sparks deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.
