My name is Luis Guillermo Castro Martin. I am a philosopher specialized in philosophy of mind and language. In particular, I am interested in the nature of consciousness, and the way in which we experience and interpret the world. I started my studies at the Central University of Venezuela in 2006, where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in philosophy (2011) and a master’s degree in logic and philosophy of science (2015). In 2012, the university offered me a position as a professor of philosophy and I taught several courses there until 2017, when I enrolled in a PhD program at the University of Genoa, Italy. I have also published several papers in philosophy journals and participated in various international events. In 2020, while writing my PhD thesis, I realized that I had been immersed in philosophy for too long and decided to use my experience to rejoin the real world. In my years studying philosophy, I have learned many things, but the most important is that the world is what we make of it, there is no ultimate truth, no final word. We create our reality. Knowledge has somehow separated us from others and nature, perhaps it can also reunite us. Although I was born in Venezuela, my family is a blending of different nationalities and traditions. I have lived and studied in different countries, which are all part of who I am and what I want to be. My actions define me, not my nationality or my origins. I do not believe in borders or limits; they are only in our minds. The sensation of not belonging can be liberating, once we realize that, by not belonging somewhere, we belong everywhere. I speak three languages (Spanish, English, and Italian) and I enjoy learning from other cultures, as well as transmitting the values of my own. I also enjoy music, sports and nature. I am the author of “Fragments of Mind” on Substack. A space for thinking outside the box, while discussing philosophical matters.

Phelan Energy Group Limited was established in 2005 after solar energy solutions grabbed our founder’s, Paschal Phelan, entrepreneurial attention. The Group now have global offices in Dublin, Cape Town, New Delhi, Germany and Afghanistan. Phelan Energy Group Limited is a leading international energy developer with an exclusive focus on Solar PV. Led by a dynamic transnational team, the group commenced operations in South Africa 15 years ago. It has a total installed, and grid connected, capacity of 260 MWp, with a large and ever-growing international footprint. Our vision, as an energy developer, is to achieve the lowest cost of solar energy in the world. Our key solar installation in South Africa is among the largest solar farms in Africa, with an installed capacity of 175MW. Furthermore, Phelan Energy Group Limited is constructing an additional Solar Farm in South Africa, which will have an installed capacity of 90 MW once completed. Phelan Energy Group Limited has entered the Indian solar market in 2016 with a record low bid which drew comment from Prime Minister Narendra Modi that our winning bid, for the first time, brought solar electricity pricing below that of thermal power (i.e. coal). The 70MWp project has commenced operations in November 2018. Phelan Energy Group Limited brought power to the people of Afghanistan with a 15MWp Project in Kandahar. The project has a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS). We have since signed two additional PPAs in Afghanistan (Sept 2020) for two new innovative solar projects that’s first of their kind, a 24MWp Floating Project and a 40MWp solar project with Battery Energy Storage, along with a healthy pipeline for prospective opportunities for 2021 and beyond. Through determined cost management, innovation, and efficiency, we have become the lowest cost producer of solar PV systems. We are proud of the track record of our solar farms, all of which perform ahead of their planned output. We continue to retain a minimum 25%-30% equity in each farm and our group balance sheet with a net asset value of over USD100m, with no debt, speaks to our competence and success.

After realising that carbon emissions from the developing and emerging economies exceeded those produced from the industrialised nations, SolarisKit’s founder Faisal Ghani decided the most impactful way to tackle the climate emergency was through simple and practical clean energy solutions. These solutions would not only have massive impact on the environment, but potentially improve the lives of millions of people across the world. With nearly 50% of global energy consumed to generate heat, Faisal worked on a new way of providing affordable, clean heat. This led to the development of the world’s first flat-packable solar thermal collector and the birth of SolarisKit. SolarisKit received its first big boost winning Scotland’s national Converge Impact Challenge in 2019 providing £20,000 of funding and access to greater access to Scotland’s entrepreneurial eco-system. Further, funding from Innovate UK (£242K) has been awarded to SolarisKit to carry out pilot installations of the SolarisKit solar collector in Rwanda. SolarisKit was named ‘Start-up of the year’ at the 2020 Solar & Storage Live Awards. As part of our commitment to the environment, SolarisKit has committed to funding the plantation of 25 trees for every collector sold. A carbon offset program is also in place for all our employees to reduce our carbon footprint.

Taking our past into the future with Carolina Reviglio! Carolina enjoyed a carefree childhood in the Piedmont countryside. With many cousins and friends, the passion for culture was instilled from an early age. Surrounded by beauty and art in the family mansion Cimena, expertly curated by her grandmother namesake, Carolina. On the paternal side of the family, her Venetian grandmother was equally influential. The unique character and rich culture of Venice, epitomizes Carolina. While travelling often, she feels most at home, in the isles of Venice. Schooled in Italy and the United States, lived in provinces throughout the length of Italy, Carolina considers herself truly Italian, with an international vision. “My country is rich in heritage, but poor in the pocket to keep it so. It saddens me to see so many buildings in a state of disrepair.” She has honed the skills of renovation and interiors of historic buildings, since 1987. Learning by trial and error, spurned on by failure and ultimate success, Carolina has grown and prospered. Now is the time to give back. Helping artisans of all disciplines to find work and ply their trade with pride. Matching projects to professionals and vice versa. As Heritage Doyenne, Carolina’s primary contribution to this unique initiative, is to encourage the participation of Heritage Ambassadors. This cause is yet another open avenue, to take our past into the future. By intertwining culture and heritage, to create more synergy. “Only once we fully understand where we come from… and truly appreciate our heritage… can we imagine a fabulous future filled with the richness of our past. Life is ours to design!” ~ Carolina Reviglio
