Fuelled by a drive to push the boundaries of the possible in both technology and human endeavour, André Borschberg is an entrepreneur whose passion for exploration is matched only by his persistence to drive economic, environmental and spiritual growth.

André conceived, with his team of engineers, a solar airplane of unlimited endurance and, alternating with Bertrand Piccard in the cockpit, successfully completed the first circumnavigation of the globe without a drop of fuel and establishing a world record by flying for the first time ever five days and five nights non-stop over the Pacific Ocean.

In addition to developing the revolutionary aircraft and piloting it around the globe, André has led the evolution of aviation technology into new, energy efficient solutions that will also serve and transform a number of industries.
