A UNIQUE JOURNEY COMBINING INNOVATION AND ADVENTURE LED BY MIKE HORN.

PANGAEA X

Pangaea X is an education and environmental program spearheaded by explorer Mike Horn that aims to inspire and empower young people to develop innovative projects with a positive impact on the planet. Through annual challenges focused on various environmental issues, Mike Horn encourages youth worldwide to take action by proposing creative solutions to address these problems. Upon completion of the program, finalist teams have the opportunity to win a monetary prize to kickstart their project, as well as embark on a transformative adventure with Mike Horn.

JOIN THE TEAM OF EXPERTS!

We are excited to announce that Pangaea X will be back for a second edition this year! Our goal is to continue to support and encourage young people to take action on important environmental issues by proposing innovative solutions that have a positive impact on our planet. Stay tuned for more information, as we will be releasing details about this year’s theme, challenges, and prizes this spring 2023. We can’t wait to see the amazing solutions that the young generation will come up with this time! We are looking for motivated people to be active throughout the 2023 Pangaea X program to transform the lives of these young participants by helping them develop their solutions.

PANGAEA X : 2022 EDITION

The first edition of Pangaea X was launched on January 9th, on the theme of #oceans. European youth between the ages of 16 and 25 were given until March 6th to propose their project ideas related to ocean conservation. This first edition of the program was exclusively proposed to French speakers living in Europe with the intention of going global in 2023. Thanks to the support and expertise of Pangaea X’s carefully-selected jury, 10 teams were chosen to integrate the program. Starting in April, the teams have 5 months to prove their determination and capabilities by passing the 3 selection phases to reach the grand finale on September 17th, 2022. Punctually throughout the program, participants will be invited to join Mike Horn and the Pangaea X team, to meet their allocated coaches and to attend various workshops given by experts to challenge their ideas and develop concrete solutions.

Après 6 mois de travail, les 5 équipes finalistes du programme pangaea x ont présenté leur projet devant une audience de plusieurs centaines de personnes 🎙️

Deux règles leurs étaient fixées: aucun visuel et 3 minutes de pitch 🕞

Une tâche de taille mais parfaitement maîtrisée par toutes les équipes ✅

Don’t miss out on @bionet_pangaeax ‘s first radio interview on @rtl_france !

After having watched the Netflix TV show Seaspricy, William, Jonathan and Victor were appalled of the amount of fishing nets that were left at sea. Were any biodegradable fishing nets on the market ? The answer was no: it was time to act and change our habits.

Did you know that, before the use of plastic, fishing nets were made out of cotton ?

By combining natural fibres with modern technologies, BioNet have created the perfect mix to fight against ghost fishing.

A week ago, we welcomed our 5 finalist teams at @joinstationf in Paris.

The biggest incubator for startups in the world, Station F was the ideal location for our teams to pitch their projects in front of the @pangaea.x jury.

6 months ago, 150 projects were submitted, 10 were selected to integrate the program, then 5 went onto the second phase and last week, one final winner was announced!

It’s been a challenging journey for our selected teams. They started with a simple idea and today we have concrete projects aspiring to contribute to preserving our oceans 🌊

We are so proud of the progress that have made and the resilience and determination they have shown and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.

This might be the end of our first edition, but it’s the beginning of life changing projects for a better future!
