The latest climate science makes it clear - to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change, we must limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Getting there will require drastically cutting emissions across all sectors, and electrifying transportation is key. Transportation accounts for ~25% of global emissions. Shifting to electric vehicles (EVs) powered by clean electricity offers a massive solution - but it will take an industrial transformation. This transition represents an incredible economic opportunity to create millions of new, well-paying jobs across the EV value chain - from mining and materials, to battery and vehicle manufacturing, charging infrastructure, and recycling. I'm excited about the work we're doing at SAE International to help build the skilled workforce to power this transition. Our Battery Academy provides comprehensive training on EV battery engineering, manufacturing, testing and more. By training workers with cutting-edge battery know-how, we can accelerate transportation electrification while creating rewarding careers. The path to keeping warming below 1,.5°C won't be easy, but the growth of the EV industry is an inspiring example of how tackling climate change creates attractive economic opportunities. If you're interested in learning more about our Battery Academy, or even just want to chat about how your skills can be applied to solving the climate crisis, drop me a line! #batteries #electricvehicles #workforcedevelopment

🎉 Happy Birthday, Thomas Edison! 🎂 Today, we celebrate the enduring legacy of Thomas Edison, a titan of innovation whose brilliance illuminated the world. As someone deeply immersed in emerging technologies and innovation, I'm struck by Edison's tenacity and unwavering determination to explore the edges of possibility. From his groundbreaking work in electricity generation to his transformative inventions like the phonograph and motion picture camera, Edison's contributions have left an indelible mark on society. His vision and ingenuity paved the way for the modern world we inhabit today. As we honor Edison's birthday, let's also reflect on his complex relationship with fellow inventor Nikola Tesla, and the lessons we can glean from their rivalry. Despite their differences, their competition fueled progress and innovation, reminding us that even the greatest minds benefit from healthy competition. Edison was also a good friend of Henry Ford. His friendship with the automotive pioneer was a testament to the power of collaboration and shared vision. Together, they forged a bond that transcended industry boundaries, exchanging ideas and inspiration at Edison's Winter Estate in Ft. Myers. So, here's to Thomas Edison: a luminary of innovation, a pioneer of progress, and a source of inspiration for generations to come. May we continue to follow in his footsteps and dare to imagine a brighter future. 💡✨ #ThomasEdison #Innovation #Inspiration #leadership #technology

Thomas Edison made 1000 attempts before he created the light bulb. Without mistakes or failure, some of the world's greatest accomplishments would never have happened. In business and life, I've come to understand that it's not the mistakes we make that matter, but how we decide to rectify them and what we learn. #thomasedisonquote #BusinessGrowth #BusinessCoach #MistakesandFailure

Going upstream: TÜV NORD Germany and ------ partner up for battery condition assessments In recent years, electromobility has developed from a niche market to a serious alternative in the transport field. More and more drivers around the world are opting for battery-electric vehicles, whether out of environmental awareness, to save money or out of technological curiosity. But this boom in electric cars is also being accompanied by an increased demand for safety, reliability and efficiency. Battery condition assessments play a crucial role here, and this is where the strategic cooperation between TÜV NORD and the Austrian technology company ----- comes in.

#Edison's Illuminating Legacy: A Journey Beyond Patents In the late 19th century, Thomas Edison's invention of the incandescent light bulb not only lit up the world but also sparked a #legacy that transcends the boundaries of #patents. While the #patent for his revolutionary #invention expired after 20 years, Edison's impact on the world of innovation and illumination remains timeless. Edison, often hailed as the "Wizard of Menlo Park," patented the light bulb in 1879, paving the way for a new era of productivity and convenience. However, as the patent clock ticked away, Edison's true brilliance revealed itself not in the exclusivity of his invention but in the lasting #influence it had on generations to come. Beyond the legal confines of patents, Edison's legacy is etched in the very fabric of #innovation culture. His relentless pursuit of solutions, tireless experimentation, and countless failures before success are all part of the narrative that continues to inspire inventors and entrepreneurs today. In the fast-paced world of LinkedIn, Edison's story serves as a reminder that true greatness is not bound by the #expiration of #patents but by the enduring impact of one's contributions. Inventors and professionals alike can draw inspiration from Edison's ability to adapt, evolve, and leave an indelible mark on history. #intellectualproperty #patent #trademarks

What would it look like to have a digital twin of the Earth that could simulate climate and extreme weather conditions both locally and globally? Hewlett Packard Labs is participating in a European Commission initiative aiming to create such a twin by 2030. The second phase of the initiative launched today. In a byline on the Behind the Scenes at Labs platform Utz-Uwe Haus, head of our European Research Lab, explains how Destination Earth works and how Labs is contributing its data-sharing expertise.
