TIS Weekly (#95): Do The Robot!
I’m happy we focused on Energy this past month. It’s good to get inspired by the huge number of alternatives to fossil fuels. However, after ploughing through dozens of videos of ingenious windmills and solar power solutions, you reach a moment in which you cannot keep them apart anymore. Good thing we’re moving on to our new and improved theme: Robots & AI! For a final overview of the Energy theme, check out our TIS Picks (below) and More About page. In this newsletter we feature the four finalists of Slush Tokyo’s pitch event.

5 top Energy videos
Our Energy archive has grown to nearly a 100 videos. Quite cool to have a vast collection of world-wide (renewable) energy solutions, modern power plants and social energy innovation! There are many inventions that have amazed us, including many different-sized solar and wind generators. Here’s our top 5 pick from the best and most breathtaking videos on Energy.
