Luc Piguet is the CEO and co-Founder of ClearSpace, Lausanne Switzerland based startup aiming to clear up Space debris and build up in-orbit servicing for sustainable space operations. ClearSpace is stemming from a long-term project that began in 2012 at the EPFL Space Center with the aim to develop technologies to capture and deorbit obsolete space objects. In 2019, the European Space Agency (ESA) selected the ClearSpace team to lead a European consortium that will execute the first autonomous debris removal mission. This ESA ClearSpace-1 mission is ground-breaking, leading to a new era of sustainable space operations. Eight countries are supporting in the project: Switzerland, the UK, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Sweden, Romania and the Czech Republic.

Luc studied at EPFL, with a MsC in Electrical Engineering and an Executive Program at Stanford.
