In February 2017, the FT's Nordic and Baltic correspondent, Richard Milne,
is just getting back into the swing of things after a vacation.
And he starts going through his inbox to catch up on what he's missed.
While I was away, I got an email from a contact telling me about this interesting new company.
The name of the company doesn't really stand out, but their pitch does.
It had a terrible name at that time, SGF Energy.
Nobody had written about it, but it was run by these two Europeans who used to work for Tesla.
So they were looking to be the first European company to build a Gigafactory,
which is basically just a giant factory that makes batteries.
Asia is leading the global battery industry at the time,
but this little Swedish startup wants to change that.
So their big pitch was to be the green European alternative to the already sort of dominant Asian battery players.
You know, this is something that European industry needed.
