One of the first to envision ecology through the lens of profitability, Bertrand Piccard is considered as an influential voice on progress and sustainability. He actively speaks out against the absurdity of the outdated and polluting devices and systems our society is still using and promotes the benefits for the Planet and for the economy of modern efficient technologies. After his round-the-world solar flight, he is now developing, through the Solar Impulse Foundation, collaborations with political and economic decision-makers to give them practical solutions to help them achieve a clean economic growth.
