Futurist Trond Arne Undheim interviews Ronan McGovern, MIT alum with a PhD in mechanical engineering, serial entrepreneur and founder of Point5 Brewing, who talks about his newly launched non-alcoholic beer and muses about emerging trends in the beverage industry.
The takeaway is that serial entrepreneurship takes trust, track record and networks. Also, non-alcoholic beer is becoming a market force to reckon with, both in Europe and now in the US, soon reaching a percentage of the market.
