Bertrand Piccard
Chairman - Solar Impulse Foundation
Bertrand Piccard, a pioneer in exploration and environmental advocacy, made history with two aeronautical firsts: a non-stop round-the-world balloon flight and a solar-powered flight without fuel. Since the early 2000s, he has promoted renewable energy and clean technologies, advocating for a “qualitative growth” where the economy thrives not by consuming more but by consuming better. Guided by the principle of efficiency, Dr. Piccard founded the Solar Impulse Foundation, identifying over 1,500 “Efficient and Profitable Solutions” to help decision-makers meet climate goals.
