My name is Martial. I'm a scientific entrepreneur in education, space engineering, and renewable energy. My main aim is to turn R&D&A projects into sustainable commercial ventures. I'm a business developer and engineering designer with over 25 years of experience in turning Research-Development projects into entrepreneurial solutions. As the Founder/CEO of CosmoLAB Hub since 2020, I lead initiatives like decarbonization, using Earth observation data to create SATCAP-CO2 and SATCAP-OCEAN, capturing CO2 and removing ocean plastic. I'm interested in studying CO2 and CH4 emissions' impact on public health in the atmosphere. CosmoLAB Hub develops edutainment content through magazine programs in a scientific review, comic strips, cartoons (series of animations), video games, and images to demystify space sciences and astronomy through art and culture, promoting gender equality in STEAMI (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics, and Innovations) and an industry mindset among kids and youth. With extensive experience in complex project and program management, I've led diverse teams nationally and internationally with limited resources. Coming from a mathematics and informatics background, I hold certificates in business administration, management, and entrepreneurship, including UPG Biashara. As the first national contact for the Space Generation Advisory Council in Benin, I support UN space applications. Currently affiliated with the International Astronautical Federation's Space Entrepreneurship and Investment Committee, I'm committed to sustainability and plan to bring innovative solutions through space technologies while educating. Coming from a family that owns firms in various domains (agriculture, palm, coconut oils production, manufacturing, and more) in which I was involved earlier in management, I define myself; βI didn't choose to be an entrepreneur. I was born with entrepreneurial mindset and love practicing it with passionβ.
