Biography
In 2008, Jost invented and has since been working on the development of an internationally patented solar module that manages light and increases the efficiency of the panel.[3][4][5] He founded and became CEO of the company Solar Bankers.[6][7] Utilizing his patented solar module, which is constructed with nanostructured holographic film,[8][9][10] Jost has been structuring the distribution and project development for solar energy projects in the United States, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Vietnam, China, and MENA/GCC.[11][12][13]
With Solar Bankers, consumers join a Peer-to-Peer Network and can produce their own electricity by using a Solar Node and sell any excess at competitive prices to their neighbours via local marketplaces.
In 2017 Mr. Jost was chosen by DFA (Dubai Future Accelerator) to set up a pilot installation for his nano structured Solar Module under desert conditions.
Being an international keynote speaker on such topics as Blockchain Technology/DLT, tokenisation of commodities, the future of renewable energy and sustainability, Mr. Jost brings awareness to global audience from different business areas in Dubai, China, Germany, USA, UK, Korea, Austria, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
Prior to 1991, Jost worked at J.P. Morgan as the Head of Product Development and Structured Finance in Frankfurt, Germany and London, United Kingdom.[14][15]
From 1992 to 2000, Jost acquired IFA-Spare Parts Division in Ludwigsfelde, Germany, a company with 200 employees.[16] The company supplied worldwide repair parts for the IFA-truck types W50 and L60in cooperation with Mercedes-Benz and Thyssen.
