Gunter Pauli was born in Antwerp in 1956. He graduated in Economics from Loyola's University in Belgium and obtained his masters in business administration from INSEAD in France, while holding the most diverse jobs in order to "sustain his education and to save money which permitted extensive traveling during the summer holidays".

His multifarious entrepreneurial activities span business, culture, science, politics and the environment. Under his leadership, a small European company pioneered the first ecological factory the construction of which was completed in 1993.

He founded and directs the "Zero Emissions Research Initiative" of the United Nations University in Tokyo, redesigning manufacturing processes into non-polluting clusters of industries. He laid the basis for the design of the first zero emissions industrial park in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA.

Fluent in six languages and having lived on all continents, he is a world citizen, presently living in Kamakura, Japan, with his wife and two children. He has written eight books which have been published in twelve languages. His first book was the biography of Dr. Aurelio Peccei, founder of the Club of Rome whose assistant he was from 1979 to 1984. His last book, Breakthroughs, has just been published in Japanese, English, Spanish and Korean.

He has been elected in 1989 as an independent to the European Parliament although he did not take the seat, owing to business commitments. Founder and former President of Worldwatch Europe, recipient of many awards and prizes, Gunter Pauli lists as one of his proudest achievements the "Mozarteum Belgicum", the foundation he created and ran for five years, also writing as its President the scenario of a children comic strip called Wonderful Mozart (it sold half a million copies) and producing the CD "The Brussels Sonata" (golden record).

Among his long term ambitions, Gunter Pauli wishes "to contribute to sustainable social, economic and humane development worldwide, in which entrepreneurship plays a critical role not only for business, but also at a cultural, social, political and ethical level".
