CHRISTENING FOLLOWED BY A NETWORKING & COCKTAIL PARTY WITH BERTRAND PICCARD

Brussels is celebrating the energy transition with the christening of the sailing boat SOLARWIND with the exceptional presence of BERTRAND PICCARD, godfather of the sailing boat ZERO fossil energy, on 19 April 2023 at 4.30 p.m. at the Brussels Royal Yacht Club a.s.b.l. 

As an organising partner of the event, we are pleased to invite you to the christening of Édouard De Keyser’s Zero Fossil Energy sailing boat, which will mark the beginning of his adventure in the Global Solo Challenge 2023-2024 (non-stop single-handed round-the-world race), which will start in La Coruña next September. This sailing boat, sponsored by Bertrand Piccard, is designed to sail around the world without taking on board any fossil fuel and uses technological alternatives, thus offering an example of sustainable solutions for recreational sailing but also in many other areas.

We are proud to support Edouard, who is committed to sailing in a different way, symbolising the energy transition applied to adventure on the high seas, and we rely on you to come and encourage him on the occasion of the christening of the boat. As patron of this project, Bertrand Piccard is a true visionary and a world leader in the fight against climate change. His involvement in the SolarWind project reinforces the importance of this initiative and the need to continue to promote sustainable solutions for the future of our planet.

We look forward to celebrating this important moment with you and supporting Edouard in this extraordinary adventure. Please confirm your presence and we hope to be able to welcome you among us for a memorable evening, full of future meetings and surprises !

This exceptional event will take place on 19 April 2023 from 4.30 pm at the Brussels Royal Yacht Club, 1 chaussée de Vilvorde, 1020 Brussels.
