Description: Serial explorer, psychiatrist and ambassador for clean technologies
Example domain paragraphs
Following his successful around-the-world flight in a solar-powered airplane, Bertrand Piccard and his Solar Impulse Foundation have succeeded in identifying more than a thousand Solutions that can protect the environment in a financially profitable way. His aim now is to take these to governments and companies and help them to accelerate the transition towards a zero-carbon economy.
He was brought up to go beyond convention wisdom, and to achieve the impossible. Scion of a legendary family of explorers and scientists who conquered the stratosphere and the ocean depths, Bertrand is inspired by the same passion for innovation and environmental conservation. He uses his exploits in the air to promote the causes that are dear to him, and to track down ways of enhancing our quality of life.
Bertrand entered history by achieving two great aeronautical « firsts ». His non-stop around-the-world balloon trip was the ultimate flight - the longest ever in aviation history for both duration and distance. More recently, his global circumnavigation in Solar Impulse was the apotheosis of his pioneering vision: 43,000 km in a solar airplane without using any fuel, demonstrating the immense potential of renewable energies and technologies.
