This episode of the ceo Podcast explores how humans and technology collaborate as game changers to tackle today’s challenges. We sit down with Bertrand Piccard, an aviation pioneer, explorer and clean technology visionary, to explore the critical intersection of humans, technology and the future. Bertrand shares his insights on the future of mobility, emphasising that our decisions today will shape a diverse and interconnected tomorrow. He highlights that today’s solutions for a sustainable future can deliver both profit and sustainability, but they remain underutilised due to a lack of awareness and support. Bertrand stresses the psychological barriers to change and draws parallels between psychotherapy and the need for collective action.

In his view, corporations play a critical role by informing and involving stakeholders, and CEOs have to lead by example.

Bertrand also talks about his latest project, ‘Climate Impulse’, which aims to fly non-stop without emissions, pushing green hydrogen, proving that a sustainable future is possible and inspiring us all to embrace change.
