Six members of Rotary and Rotaract will be honored this November as People of Action: Young Innovators during Rotary Day at the United Nations in Nairobi, Kenya. Ludovic will receive his award on UN Rotary Day in Nairobi, Kenya in November, which will be attended by District Governor Bronwyn Stephens.
These young innovators, including Ludovic, all under the age of 35, are being recognized for their commitment to solving problems with measurable and lasting results, connecting local issues with global concerns.
Ludovic’s winning project is Ocean CleanX. He founded a pioneering company that is developing new technology to monitor pollution and remove it from waterways.
Ludovic’s citation includes: “ Every year, 8.8 million tons of plastic waste get into the oceans, putting marine species at risk of extinction. Grosjean, a 29-year-old engineer, launched Ocean CleanX to develop automated pollution monitoring and removal tools that use artificial intelligence and drones to remove plastics and other pollution from waterways and detect their source. Grosjean, who has 12 years of experience in oceanography and mechatronics engineering, has persuaded clubs to support the effort, contribute financially, and volunteer for river clean-up events.”
Rotary Club of Melbourne congratulates Ludovic and his passion and energy in respecting our global sea life and oceans.
Rotary Day at the United Nations celebrates two organizations’ shared vision for peace and highlights the critical humanitarian activities that Rotary and the UN lead around the world.
