Hi all, My name is Milou Derks and I am doing a parttime PhD in the role of sustainable business models for upscaling of (energy) innovations in a BoP (bottom of the pyramid) context, next to my job at TNO where I work on sustainable business model programmes and projects in the fields of energy or innovations in developing countries. I have a deep love for the outdoors and you can often find me climbing, mountaineering, hiking or snowboarding in the mountains!
