Connecting correct dots – conversation with UbiQD CEO (1/2)

Imagine a world with total food security, even in the deserts! What if I say it is not far-fetched to imagine that solar energy will be negligibly cheap and right at our window. It is not a distant sci-Fi future, in fact, Nanomaterials Scientists and Young Entrepreneurs are currently pushing the boundaries of science to address challenges in agriculture as well as in the solar energy harvesting sectors. Read on... First half of the interview here.
