Bertrand Piccard, The sustainability speaker in Dubai and Abu Dhabi (UAE)
Such is his fame, there is very little need to introduce Bertrand Piccard.
He is one of Switzerland’s true visionaries, who has made an art of thinking ‘out of the box’ and has at least 3 different lives. He is: a psychiatrist, an explorer and a conference speaker.
Whether his conferences concern innovation, creativity or the world of science and medicine, Bertrand Piccard is capable of transmitting the full panoply of his entrepreneurial spirit. Through his life’s work and his personal philosophy, his audiences always find his real live experiences from his varied career to be truly inspirational. United Nations ambassador for the environment, his conferences are about innovation, creativity or the world of science and medicine. President and pilot of the Solar Impulse, he is above all a true visionary and an incredible communicator.

He uses this in his everyday life, but also to succeed in his great exploration challenges, like his circumnavigation of the globe in a hot-air balloon in 1999. He has learnt that this can enable him to go beyond just his simple physical capabilities and to ensure the success of his exploit.
