Matthieu Witvoet - Speaker on environnement
Eco-adventurer: circular economy, adventure, leadership, environment
It all started in 2017 when I set off at the age of 22 to cycle around the world. For a year and 17,000 km, I traveled through about twenty countries meeting entrepreneurs and concrete solutions in the circular economy. After dozens of interviews in the media (TF1, M6…), I became aware of the power of adventure to tell the major environmental issues in a different way.
Since then, I have given over 300 conferences, including 2 TEDx talks, supported over 100 companies on the issues of circular economy and ecological transition, and founded 2 NGOs.
In parallel, I have undertaken several eco-adventures: swimming across Lake Titicaca, world record for collecting cigarette butts, attempted swimming across the Atlantic...
As an environmental and circular economy speaker, I now focus on two themes:
♻️ 1. Circular economy & environmental solutions: A world tour of viable and inspiring initiatives.
🌊 2. Adventure & inspiring leadership: What expeditions teach us about collectivity, adaptation, and uncertainty.
My goal with you: to tell ecology in a concrete, positive, and inspiring way to encourage action.

World Tour of the Circular Economy: Solutions to Take Action
What if the solutions to the major environmental challenges already existed?
In 2017, I set off for a year-long bike tour of 17,000 km, meeting entrepreneurs who are inventing new ways to produce, consume, and use our resources. From this adventure, Circul’R was born, which has become one of the main networks of companies committed to the circular economy in France.
In this conference, I take the audience on a world tour of solutions: new business models, reuse, repair, biomimicry, functionality economy, eco-design… Concrete examples help to understand the principles of the circular economy and, above all, their application in businesses.
The conference also deciphers the limits of our linear model of "extract, produce, throw away" and shows how to transition from a waste economy to an economy that preserves the value of resources.
The goal is not to induce guilt, but to show that the transition is already underway.
A positive, accessible, and inspiring conference to understand the circular economy, discover those who are already putting it into practice, and leave with the desire to act on one's own scale.
Adventure & Leadership: Succeeding Together in the Face of Uncertainty
What remains of a plan when nothing goes as expected?
Swimming across Lake Titicaca, self-sufficient expeditions, environmental challenges, attempts to swim across the Atlantic... For nearly ten years, I have been leading adventures that have confronted me with uncertainty, failure, self-overcoming, and above all, the power of the collective.
In this conference, I share the behind-the-scenes of these expeditions: the moments of success, but also the mistakes, tensions, unforeseen events, and decisions made when the initial plan no longer works.
Through these lived stories, I draw parallels with the challenges faced by organizations: how to maintain a course in uncertainty? How to build trust within a team? How to communicate under pressure? How to accept changing strategy without abandoning ambition?
Adventure thus becomes a real-life laboratory for leadership, adaptation, and collective resilience.
An immersive and inspiring conference that combines adventure stories, expedition images, and concrete lessons to help teams move forward together, even when the destination is known but the path is not.
