Jakob Baruël Poulsen is the managing partner of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP). Many know him from being a key figure in Dong Energy's (now Ørsted) massive venture into especially offshore wind, which is now a key focus for them.

In 2012, Jakob along with 4 other key employees of Dong went on to start their own Private Equity fund with a sole focus on renewables. They have done extremely well, raising more than 6 billion euro in 5 years.

We are very proud to welcome CIP's managing partner for a talk about the future of renewables, CIP and his own career.
