This English-language session analyzed how niche demand contributes to cost reduction in clean technologies. Prof. Greg Nemet (University of Wisconsin–Madison) and Prof. Alessio Terzi (University of Cambridge; Sciences Po) discussed learning curve effects as part of necessary climate innovations within green growth strategies. The lecture was moderated by Florian Müller (ETH Zurich). The event examined historical examples such as solar energy and derives strategies for how targeted demand in niche markets can accelerate the scaling and cost reduction of new climate technologies to enable broader market penetration.
