PROFESSIONAL EXPLORER AND ADVENTURER
Mike Horn is considered to be one of the greatest explorers of our time. Known for his adventures in the most extreme environments, he has achieved remarkable feats of endurance, determination and courage, constantly pushing back the limits of human performance.
Mike Horn’s list of achievements is unrivalled. For more than 30 years now, he has been pushing back the boundaries of exploration. He has circumnavigated the globe twice (once on the equator and once on the Arctic Circle); he has walked to the North Pole in winter and in total darkness; he has circumnavigated the globe for four years on his boat to raise environmental awareness among young people; and he has climbed four of the world’s highest mountains. More recently, he was the first man to cross the South Pole as well as the North Pole.
MIKE’S PROJECTS

PANGAEA X
Pangaea X is the educational and environmental program initiated by Mike to support young people aged 18 to 30 in the realization of innovative and sustainable projects in the service of the planet.
Organized over several editions, the program selects around ten teams motivated to transform their ideas into concrete, economically viable, high-impact solutions. For five months, participants benefit from structured support combining online and face-to-face sessions, expert advice and the support of a dedicated coach. The program culminates in a final pitch to a panel of judges, including Mike, and a public ceremony at which the best projects are honored.

HORN FOUNDATION
Horn Foundation‘s mission is to raise public awareness of current environmental and social issues. It carries out concrete projects to protect the planet and improve living conditions for its inhabitants, offering everyone the opportunity to become an agent of change.
The Foundation also enables philanthropists to support initiatives with a strong environmental and social impact, from field projects to educational programs.

INOCEL
In 2022, Mike co-founded INOCEL, an innovative company specializing in clean energy solutions. By developing compact, high-performance and safe hydrogen fuel cells, INOCEL offers a concrete alternative to internal combustion engines. The company is actively involved in the energy transition by marketing hydrogen-powered generators, thus contributing to an emission-free future and the decarbonization of the planet.

AYAQ
Mike recently joined forces with AYAQ to support the development of this French outdoor brand. Founded by enthusiasts and designed for explorers, AYAQ stands out for its high technical standards, its commitment to eco-design and its European roots.
The partnership was born of a meeting between Mike and Vincent Defrasne, Olympic biathlon champion and brand director. Beyond their friendship, it was the convergence of their values – excellence, sustainability, innovation – that motivated this collaboration. Together, they share a common vision: to design equipment that is both high-performance and responsible, adapted to the most extreme conditions.
