Early Years

Pablo Vidarte was born on March 29, 1996, in Seville, Spain.[2] He was the older son of a middle-class family. At the age of 12, he began studying software programming, creating experimental applications and video games.[16] At the age of 14, he wrote his first book.[16] He developed an interest in music and filmmaking,[17] and was later awarded the Cambridge University filmmaking national prize at the age of 16.[18][17] At that same age, Vidarte founded his first company. He began studying Stirling engines in the baccalaureate at the age of 17, developing research on external combustion engines alongside parallel studies being developed at NASA.[19][17] He was a finalist in a national innovation competition that brought him as an invited guest to the first European Summit of the Singularity University, created by Google and NASA, taking place in 2013 at Budapest, Hungary.[18]

Vidarte moved to Barcelona at the age of 18 to study engineering.[20] He then renewed his interest in software and computer engineering,[18] developing from monitoring programs to an evolutionary artificial intelligence able to learn and create evolving virtual societies.[21] He became interested in the hardware and business world, where he founded his first technological companies[18][22] and, later, launched his next book at the age of 21.[23][16]

Career

Arkyne Technologies

On October 27, 2015,[3] Pablo Vidarte founded his first technological company with his friend and nanotechnology student Javier Rodríguez Macías.[3][24][21] The company's goal was to serve as a legal vehicle to develop tech-based products from research to production.[19] The company's first project was called Geoo, in the geo-localization tracking devices industry.[21] The project was launched with a successful prototype but was later changed due to the rapid and harsh growth of larger companies in the sector and a recent invention to generate electricity from plants.[2] This concept, developed by the company, pivoted its business model. After an early period of prior research, Pablo Vidarte, and the rest of the current members of the entity at that time, decided to name this project Bioo.[22][21][18]

Bioo

In 2016, after a year of research and investigation, Bioo was officially founded as a project for the development of electricity from plants.[2][25][26] Based on investigations around the globe related to microbial fuel cell technology applied for water treatment, Vidarte and his team developed a series of prototypes of biological reactors.[21] These were able to obtain energy from the organic decomposition of carbon-based substances found in the substrate of plants,[9][21] and those naturally expelled by the roots.[2][7] The team's first obstacle was to be able to replicate these biological batteries in industrial volumes after having to stop the delivery of their first concept products.[2] These first reactors required high maintenance and were only able to be produced individually after previous development in the lab.[21] Vidarte and his team secured a first financial round focused on the development of a standardized model for the industrial replication of their reactors. This round consisted of €311.000[20] of private funding from business angels and a biotechnological company focused on biofuels and green chemistry.[27][28] After a year, the goal was accomplished, and their batteries were ready for the following scaling-up development.[5][29]

The company then focused its attention on two lines: a research and development line, for the application of this technology on a larger scale; and a product line, focused on launching smaller products based on the technology. "The target of this last line was to showcase it and produce not only profitability to maintain the R+D line,[22] but also to create a global consciousness about the technology and its applications".[21] Its first target was education, with the introduction of an interdisciplinary educational model.[30] Other projects in that line involved external Wi-Fi network applications.[21]

Since its founding, Bioo has received economic support from the European Union, with more than one million euros[11][2] in funding for research and development, as well as from the Spanish government and other private investors.[31] Pablo Vidarte was invited by the government to represent Spain in the 2017 international Expo of Energies of the Future with Bioo.[1] The company was granted the privilege of having a permanent presence in the museum of energies of the future in Astana.[9] Vidarte has also given two TEDx Talks[22][21] and a conference at the Mobile World Congress in 2016.[32] Currently, the company has lab spaces, offices, workshops, and an international franchise model.[22][33][17]

Philosophy and Work

Vidarte authored the book: "Una Nueva Tierra. Aquel que vivió mil vidas",[34] and created the Trascentist movement,[23] a philanthropic philosophy based on the future advancements of society. Vidarte's philosophy, throughout his work, is based on current physics, biology, and social behaviors applied on a long-term scale. It aligns with transhumanism toward artificial evolution and the fight against aging with further development in data recovery and the rejection of biological world abandonment.[16] His philosophy also supports the development of direct democracy through the use of current technologies.[35] Other influences on his philosophy include Elon Musk, Dr. Yuval N. Harari, the Millennium Project, and Singularity University.[23]
