Experienced and ambitious leadership

Paving the way for a green future with net-zero carbon emission

When Blue World Technologies was founded, this was with a clear ambition to contribute to overcoming global environmental and climate challenges.

Blue World Technologies was founded in 2018 by Anders Korsgaard, Chief Executive Officer, Mads Friis Jensen, Chief Commercial Officer, and Mads Bang, Chief Technology Officer, all highly experienced executives within the fuel cell industry. Common for the founders is full dedication towards high-temperature PEM methanol fuel cell technology throughout most of their respective careers.

The Blue World Technologies team has grown rapidly from consisting of the three founders to now including highly skilled experts from all over the world. Besides fuel cell expertise, the team also represent strong skills within management, administration, sales, business development and production.

To ensure Blue World Technologies in succeeding with pushing for a carbon-neutral future, the company has created a strong leadership through an experienced and ambitious Corporate Management team and a highly skilled Board of Directors.
