Blackstone Life Sciences, which has some $17 billion in assets under management, typically invests in late-stage medicines invented by biotech and pharmaceutical companies in exchange for a royalty on future sales. In 2024, for example, the firm invested as much as $750 million in financing for Moderna’s flu vaccine development.

But Blackstone also wants to own a stake in some companies that it backs. 
In late March, Blackstone closed its latest life-sciences fund with $6.3 billion of commitments, the firm’s biggest haul for backing clinical trials of medicines and technologies. 

Dr. Jenny Rooke is Founder and Managing Director of Genoa Ventures. She discusses the cross between tech and health with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.

Bloomberg Businessweek visited Three Mile Island and went inside the training facility preparing for the the plant to come back online as soon as mid-2027. Thanks to a long-term agreement signed by Microsoft Corp. and Constellation Energy Corp. in September 2024, the energy from the plant will power chatbots and other artificial intelligence applications. 

All this under a new and baggage-free name: the Crane Clean Energy Center. The agreement commits Microsoft to buying all the electricity produced by the site’s remaining functional 835-megawatt reactor for 20 years.


Today's show features:
Will Wade, Bloomberg Energy Reporter on how Microsoft's vast power demands are bringing together two transformative—and risky—technologies
Christel Rendu de Lint, co-CEO at Vontobel
Daniel Barcelo, Chairman and CEO at T1 Energy on state of energy industry
Michael Gross, SLR Capital Partners Co-Founder and James Crombie, Bloomberg Senior Editor for Credit on state of Private Credit
Meenakshi Lala, CEO at UrbanStems
