National Grid Partners’ Post

Getting to net zero is a global challenge. 🌍 This week’s #MeetUsMonday, on the heels of National Grid’s Innovation Day, welcomes CEO John Pettigrew to share how we collectively make a difference in the energy transition. 🎥

We are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Mike Lynch, his daughter Hannah and others on the Bayesian. Our hearts go out to Mike's family and to the families of all those who lost their lives. Mike was a titan of UK tech, and we are grateful, for all he did to build and support Luminance.
