Andre Borschberg

Andre Borschberg brings all his experience and the network he developed during his 30 years as an entrepreneur and pilot, and most recently with Solar Impulse. Leading the Solar Impulse project together with Bertrand Piccard, Andre converted the vision of a solar airplane with unlimited autonomy into a reality by building a technical team. Andre led the design, construction and testing of 2 Solar Impulse airplanes and managed flight missions. With the completion of the first-ever circumnavigation of the globe in a solar airplane without a drop of fuel, Andre flew the historical 5 day 5 night leg from Japan to Hawaii, a world record for the longest solo flight in an airplane of any kind.
