What is the insurer's role within an innovative transition?
On 16 April is the International Insurance Fund seminar. The focus is: What is the future of mobility in the next 10 years given technological developments and human behaviour? And what is the impact of this on insurers? We invite several speakers for this, including Johannes Kester, who conducted research on this at Oxford University.
Introduction
Johannes Kester did PhD research on energy security, then did three years of postdoctoral research in Denmark on how we as a society are going through and can accelerate the mobility transition to electric mobility. His research included where car manufacturers, traders, car park operators, electricity grid operators and consumers are up against and how the government can remove any obstacles and support the mobility transition. After those three years, he picked up this and similar questions on electrification and automation in road transport at the Transport Studies Unit in Oxford as Senior Researcher.
