Laurence Kemball-Cook: Turning footsteps into energy and going from designer to CEO
In 2009, Laurence Kemball-Cook set up his company ‘Pavegen’ from a bedsit in Brixton. 10 years later it’s one of the fastest growing clean-tech firms that reaches across the globe and is valued at over £20 million. The innovative company finds ways of creating off-grid energy from anything that moves, like our feet or cars. The initial technology that was designed were floor tiles that were installed in buildings and even under football pitches to generate power from the movement of the feet passing over it. Laurence’s work has seen him brushing shoulders with the likes of Obama, Will.i.am and singer Akon. He compares his company to being similar to that of Apple, with the aim of making his technology a key component in the smart cities of the future. Hear him talk about how he persisted through over 200 unsuccessful pitches before he got his big break and the challenges he’s had to overcome on his journey to phenomenal success.
