Experiencing Future Tech at my Festival | Nico Rosberg
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE ? We founded the Greentech Festival in 2019 , one year before the pandemic , so the next two years were tough for us , but I am incredibly proud of the fact that we not only survived , but managed to grow the business and turn it into a global event series . This year , we will be in New York , London and Singapore for the first time .
HOW IS ROSBERG X RACING INSPIRING CHANGE AND HIGHLIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE ? We are competing in Extreme E , the first motorsport series focused entirely on climate protection , social and environmental causes .
The cars are fully electric SUVs charged with solar power and hydrogen fuel cells . The equipment is transported by a very efficient ship , and we don ’ t allow on-site viewers so the travel and logistic emissions remain minimal . All teams engage in activities and projects to support local communities in their battle against climate change and Extreme E is the only racing series to feature both a male and a female driver in each team . Furthermore , our team RXR has set up its own campaign called Driven By Purpose . As an example , we have equipped schools in Senegal with solar powered lamps , or raised money to plant trees in Sardinia after the devastating wildfires .
