    Last week, we visited GreenGT, our technical supporter for green hydrogen propulsion. A complete deep dive into the heart of innovation. ⚗️ 🫧 From the development, assembly and test of the fuel cell system, GreenGT is helping us tackle one of the most complex challenges of the project: flying around the world non-stop, emission-free, powered by green hydrogen. A big thank you to the GreenGT team for sharing their time, their know-how, and their pioneering spirit. Together, we're pushing boundaries — and paving the way for a cleaner future in aviation and beyond.  🌱 🌎 🙅🏼

  • The ocean produces over half the oxygen we breathe, regulates our climate, and absorbs vast amounts of CO₂... But today it is under threat, and its capacity to protect us is being pushed to the limit. At La Grande Marée and SOS Océans, Bertrand Piccard joined scientists, leaders and philanthropists to share a message of determination and hope.  “It’s not a question of ways, but of will. The solutions exist. Let’s implement them.” That’s the purpose of the Solar Impulse Foundation’s Ocean Initiative — launched in 2025 to identify and promote clean and profitable solutions that support a sustainable blue economy. This June at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, we’ll unveil our Guide for the Blue Economy, essentially a practical tool designed to accelerate action. It will spotlight real-world deployment of labelled solutions across five key themes, drawing out the policy levers, business models and operational best practices that make them work. A dedicated chapter on finance will highlight effective funding mechanisms, investor insights and replicable cases to help scale what works. Because the ocean is more than a natural wonder... it’s where climate, economy, and life intersect. And where innovation must rise to the challenge.
