Aart van Veller
Aart van Veller studied Economics and Business at the University of Amsterdam with the notion that it is the economy that can be the driver for true positive change. In 2007, Aart got selected for Climate Change College, a college in which you get trained to learn about the causes, effects and solutions on Climate Change. The college also included a journey to the North Pole where Aart experienced a profound sense of responsibility.
According to Aart, the question is no longer if, but how and how fast we'll make the transition to a sustainable economy. From that angle he is always looking for ways to accelerate that transition in an entrepreneurial way. As a founder and partner of Cool Endeavour, Wij zijn Koel, DeGroeneBocht, CUBE Architects, Zestiq and SwitchMyLight he is proving that sustainability is the largest economic opportunity of the 21st century. This message of the future generation is also often heard at CleanDrinks events, the network drinks event for sustainable entrepreneurs and professionals.
