Protecting cleantech innovation

Aerosolar, a spin-out from Queen Mary University of London, is advancing next-generation perovskite solar technology that can deliver up to double the energy output of conventional silicon cells. The company’s breakthrough enables easier, faster manufacturing while maintaining high performance — a step forward in scaling renewable energy production.

John Leeming explained that securing patent protection early is essential to commercial success:

“Investors are looking for intellectual property forming a good asset that they can invest in. That investment is key to turning bright ideas into real-world advances.”

By helping innovators like Aerosolar establish defensible IP, J A Kemp ensures that new technologies can attract investment, compete globally, and contribute meaningfully to climate goals. As nations gather for COP30, the message is clear: protecting innovation is key to powering the clean energy transition.
