Our moderator, Ms. Alice Jackson welcomes your questions. Please type them into the Q&A area and she will try to get to as many as possible.

Does anyone have questions for our speakers and moderator? We welcome them!

Alice asked about the Internet Hall of Fame. Pointer to my page — as you can see, it is not like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame :-). https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees/craig-partridge

Please type in your questions for our panel "Transformation in Financing of R&D, Innovations & Project Pipeline". Our moderator, Monika Beecher, would love to ask our speakers to respond.

To Georgi : What mechanism/programs do bank have to finance innovative technologies that are new to the banks and have not been previously financed by them and therefore are not known from technology perspective and may be considered risky?

Are hydrogen based technologies considered as of area of interest to finance in CEE?

Quickly, my sense is publicly trading oil and gas companies are very excited about hydrogen

The skills needed to make that successful are complementary to their current skills
