I’m David Martineau, an Innovation and Technology Executive with a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Material Science, bringing over 17 years of experience in photovoltaic technologies. My career spans everything from intricate molecular synthesis to advanced manufacturing techniques, culminating in the successful deployment of solar installations.

Throughout my career, I've been at the forefront of industrializing cutting-edge solar technologies, particularly in dye-sensitized and perovskite solar cells. I've developed and commercialized numerous specialty products and processes that have had a global impact. Today, my focus is on pioneering graphene solutions for energy applications, such as producing highly conductive carbon electrodes for solar cells, batteries, and supercapacitors.

Beyond my technical expertise, I’m deeply involved in supporting deep-tech startups. I help these innovative businesses by setting up their R&D facilities, forging strategic partnerships, and enhancing their communication strategies. My work is complemented by active participation in collaborative research projects with prestigious institutions across the globe, leading to multiple scientific publications and several patents.

In addition to my professional endeavors, I contribute to the energy transition dialogue as a member of the organizing committee for the Swiss Association of Electric Companies' Club Ravel. I’m also the founder and president of my village’s badminton club, where I enjoy fostering community spirit through sports. When I’m not working or on the badminton court, you’ll often find me immersed in home automation projects, designing and programming sensors to monitor and manage energy usage efficiently.
