Martin Kelly

INNOVO Group of Companies
INNOVO Net Zero
CEO & Founder

Martin facilitates the development of B2B relationships and the deployment of advanced clean technologies within an eco-system that is defined by his commitment to retrospective fairness. Over the past 20 years, he and over 350 ‘C’ suite executives and partners have created the interlocking building blocks of the Net Zero eco-system. This is to achieve his life’s vision: to be the bridge between organizations evolving in different industries and the technologies of the future. Martin is passionate about technologies. He and some of the world’s biggest technology search platforms have spent recent years searching, sourcing, evaluating, and validating hundreds of profitable clean technologies. Entrepreneurship is in his DNA. His father commissioned new nuclear power stations – a different scale of start-up! Martin’s keen sense of values was instilled in him as a child: he is committed, above all, to FAIRNESS in all aspects of his personal and professional life. Before starting his entrepreneurship journey, Martin progressed in various management positions from Operations to Sales and Marketing, culminating as a General Manager in several diverse industries. He developed particular expertise in turnarounds, management buy-ins and agile long-term partnerships, and new product development. As an active Board member, he was exposed to the limitations and frustrations of the traditional management system. In response, Martin applied disruptive management principles, successfully deploying crossfunctional teams. He encouraged his team-members to learn and grow and implemented innovative concepts which fostered a sense of shared responsibility among them. Thanks to his unorthodox management model, the teams achieved significant business successes. Martin’s early engagement with good causes (10% of his revenues were donated to charity) evolved into investment in emerging projects with high social and environmental impact. Building on the meaningful success of his former technology commercialization business, Martin applied his past experience to audacious ambitions for a global scale eco-sytem. He and the hundreds of senior executives in the INNOVO Talents Network together have created the unique multi-faceted Business Models which underpin INNOVO Profitable NET ZERO, its Marketplace, and all subsidiary Ventures. His commitment to creating a safer, cleaner Planet and to sustaining the diversity of humanity and wildlife is the logical extension of his personal and professional values to the world around us. Martin is fortunate to have a special talent: he knows how to share his passion and attract experienced people with complementary skills and talents to his network, and so expand exponentially the network’s capability of delivering customized, high-value services to customers and partners to collectively counter climate change.

Hugo Spowers

Riversimple Movement Ltd Founder

Hugo Spowers MBE is the founder of Riversimple Movement. After studying Engineering at Oxford University, his first career was as an engineer, entrepreneur and driver in motorsport, designing and building racing cars and restoring some of the world’s most important historic racing cars. Environmental concerns led him away from motorsport and he set up Riversimple in 2001 after concluding that a step change in automotive technology is both essential and possible; the principal barriers are not technical but to do with people, politics and business inertia. The first fuel cell car to emerge was the Morgan LIFECar, shown at the Geneva Motorshow in 2008, and this led ultimately to the Rasa, as in Tabula Rasa, a new kind of car for a carbon-free world on display here, delivering zero emission transport for mainstream vehicle markets in a circular business model that makes sustainability profitable. In 2019, London Business School presented him with their ‘Unreasonable Person’ award – praising his “enormous tenacity and stubbornness in pursuing an idea despite the difficulties encountered along the way” – and in 2022 he was awarded an MBE for services to technology. Riversimple's Purpose is 'To pursue, systematically, the elimination of the environmental impact of personal transport”.

Edmond Fokker

Care for Talent Foundation
Lecturer
violinist

Edmond Fokker, born in the Netherlands can be considered as an autodidact violinist. He graduated from Leiden University and Harvard Business School but it is the violin that has his heart. He mostly learnt to play the violin himself with some advice from Jaap van Zweden, violinist, today the conductor of the New York Philharmonic and Pierre Amoyal, starpupil of Heifetz. Edmond has a burning passion and fascination for the violin. He listened especially to the old masters like Heifetz, Gitlis, Menuhin, Oistrach, Milstein, Seidel, Nadien and Perlman. Ossy Renardy who - as an autodidact - recorded the 24 Paganini capriccio’s, is, like Paganini himself, another great inspiration to him. When at university he won first prize in the Inter-academic Chamber music Competition with Mahler’s pianoquartet and played Vivaldi’s ‘four seasons’ in the RTL-hall in Luxemburg. He played the world over. From Royal courts to warzones, in a charitable peace-concert in St Moritz and in Afghanistan Christmas 2015 for the troops. He was a soloist in the Bruch concerto with Holland’s oldest orchestra Sempre Cre- scendo in Leiden and he played in the Royal Concertgebouw with the “Care for Talent Foundation” of which he is a founding boardmember. In 2019 he was invited by the Paganini-family as music director for the ‘Paganini honors Paganini’-concert in Carnegie Hall where he played a 1722 Guarneri del Gésu. A large part of his life was spent as a military-officer and in a civilian capacity serving his country. He makes music in different styles, from classical to improvisation with gipsies and many others. In 2021 he will together with Maxim Vengerow, Lang Lang and others serve on the jury of “Virtuosos”, a classical music competition for young musicians and a popular television-program in Hungary and 7 other countries.

Green Energy Pioneer
Eco Wave Power
CEO

Inna Braverman founded Eco Wave Power at the age of 24. Under her leadership, the company installed its first grid-connected wave energy array and secured a significant project pipeline of 327.7MW.

Inna was recognized by Wired Magazine as one of the “Females Changing the World”, by Fast Company as one of the world’s “Most Creative People in Business for 2020” and is the winner of the United Nations “Global Climate Action Award”. For Inna, clean electricity is a very personal journey, as she was born two weeks before the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster and suffered respiratory arrest due to the pollution in the region. Luckily, her mother, a nurse, came to her crib on time and gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which saved her life. She got a second chance in life and decided to devote it to the development of a clean and safe method of electricity production.
