The power of creative energy in the energy transition

Leadership in the energy transition requires more than knowledge.
It demands connection, creativity, and courage.

Next Current merges the power of creative arts, music, and visual expression with nature-based leadership to shape a new way forward — where transformation starts from within, and ripples out into the system.
