Diane Gilpin, founder and CEO of Smart Green Shipping, discusses the astronomical climate impact of the shipping industry, why Scotland is the perfect place for a woman entrepreneur in climate tech, and why government funding is vital alongside private investment into the green technology space.
Gilpin founded Smart Green Shipping in 2014. The startup develops hardware and software designed to reduce the climate impact of the shipping industry. Gilpin has been in the shipping industry for well over a decade and discusses how far behind it is in the fight for gender equality. Gilpin notes, however, that her experience of business and engineering in Scotland was surprisingly progressive and welcoming. Gilpin has worked in tech for more than three decades, beginning her career on the launch team for Cellnet mobile phones before spending time in F3 and Formula One.
