Carlton Cummins win Shell LiveWIRE’s Top Ten Innovators 2017! Transcript

[Background music plays]

{Upbeat music}

{Entrepreneur enters the room to receive Top Ten Innovators prize}

[Aceleron]

{Carlton Cummins}

{Shock, amazement, I am still processing the whole thing}

{Scenes of Aceleron team at work interspersed with close-up interview of entrepreneur}

[Aceleron]

{Carlton Cummins}

{Shock, amazement, I am still processing the whole thing}

{Aceleron is a clean-tech startup focused on developing a technology to re-use lithium batteries. So What Aceleron tries to do is to use re-use as a means of keeping the price within reach of more people around the world. From electric bikes right here in the UK all the way to renewable energy storage in Central America so it really demonstrates that you can use this low-cost energy storage to produce and provide different types of services in many different areas. It’s amazing to have received the award of the $15,000. I didn’t do this on my own, we’re going to use it directly on a trial we’re doing in Central America at the beginning of next year.}

{The Shell LiveWIRE programme is Shell’s flagship enterprise development programme. And Top Ten Innovators is a global competition that’s open to the alumni of the Shell LiveWIRE programme.}

{Scenes of Aceleron team at work interspersed with close-up interview of entrepreneur}

[Aceleron]

{Carlton Cummins}

{One great thing Shell LiveWIRE has done is provide me with a lot of insight through a network of people I’ve been able to interact with. It’s also given me the opportunity to gain really valuable feedback on how to improve what Aceleron is known to do. I’m kind of a restless soul so I’m always eager to push further and beyond. The journey of being an entrepreneur, creating anything new, honestly is going to be a challenge but you really have to be very persistent in what you’re doing to achieve what you want to get to. And then the second thing would be insight. Don’t assume that they way you’re approaching things is the right way, learn from your environment to refine and evolve what you’re trying to deliver.}
