[FOR OUR FRENCH READERS] What does it really take to make circular economy models viable at scale?
Greentech start-ups are booming, but too often, the journey from lab to industrial rollout ends in failure.
In this sharp, experience-based interview, Samir Karoum, founder of Bombelli Ventures and Member of our Advisory Board, and Emmanuel Ladent, former CEO of Carbios explain why a technology is not a business model in itself, and what it really takes to succeed in building “technology-enabled infrastructure businesses”.
Their take?
→ You can’t scale a greentech like you scale software
→ The first factory is the real prototype
→ Financial models must adapt to each phase of industrial maturity
→ And not every market is ready to absorb a green premium
This interview, published in 100 Transitions, the media dedicated to sustainable transformation, offers a deep dive into the structural challenges of scaling circular economy models.
