Black businesses faced closures, and workers endured layoffs or unsafe conditions. This reality highlights an urgent need to close the racial gap and achieve an equal, just recovery.

INFORUM convened a panel of experts, building on McKinsey & Company research, to outline paths for this recovery. This vital community program was made free to the public thanks to McKinsey & Co.

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) offers a powerful solution to fuel the future, capable of replacing fossil fuels for industrial processes like steel and cement manufacturing, thereby reducing global carbon emissions. CSP systems use arrays of revolving mirrors (heliostats) to precisely reflect sunlight into a central receiver, generating immense heat.

Recent advancements in AI and machine learning are making CSP technology smarter, more efficient, and increasingly affordable. Innovators like Heliogen, backed by Bill Gates, leverage software to optimize mirror control, making solar energy cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels. This progress paves the way for global adoption, as explored in the "Hard Reset" series.
