Matthew Hannon

Matthew is a Senior Lecturer and the Director of Research at the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, within the University of Strathclyde’s Business School. His research examines the policy and market conditions necessary to accelerate innovation of low-carbon energy technologies and business models. In terms of impact he has written reports on behalf of the Labour Party and World Energy Council, been cited in government and parliamentary reports and sat on Scottish Power Energy Networks’ Customer Engagement Group to inform their five year business plan for Ofgem’s RIIO-ED2. As Co-Investigator of Energy-REV, Matthew helped lead two separate but related work packages: business and finance (WP 2); and policy and regulation (WP 3). His extensive research expertise across both domains meant he ensured the two work streams were strongly aligned.
