Energy Project and Product Commercialisation Sprint

Nicola Binks | Founder and Commercial Practioner, Urban Smart Power I believe the energy transition will move faster when we connect the businesses, technologies, expertise and opportunities that can make it happen. Over 20+ years, I've developed commercial foundations and grown businesses, sourced and won new business, entered new markets and commercialised renewable energy, battery storage, smart-grid technologies, flexibility and emerging energy solutions. Along the way, I've seen brilliant technologies struggle to reach market, while businesses wanting to adopt cleaner, smarter energy solutions face their own commercial and practical challenges. Bridging that gap is what drives me. That's why I founded Urban Smart Power. We help ambitious businesses unlock opportunities and turn ideas into commercial reality across three areas: Business growth and commercialisation: New markets, customer propositions, routes to market, commercial strategy and hands-on growth leadership. Energy and infrastructure projects: Renewable energy, storage and smart-energy project development, commercial models, partnerships and investment readiness. Strategic partnerships and execution: Connecting customers, innovators, investors and delivery partners to unlock opportunities and deliver results. Dilligence and Execution plans: Understanding what matters most to meet the next milestone, secure the big clients and build strategic partners. My bigger vision is to build strong connected commercial foundations across businesses in the energy landscape, sharing expertise, overcoming common barriers and creating opportunities together. Because connecting innovation with real-world needs creates stronger businesses, faster adoption and greater impact. I'm always keen to connect with founders, business leaders and collaborators who share that ambition.
