2019 获奖人 | Chemical engineer | Brazilian

Inspired by the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing to the Convention on Biological Diversity, Genecoin was created. Its mission is to take advantage of blockchain and machine learning technologies to track the biodiversity used in products, allowing companies to gain confidence, legal certainty and transparency along their supply chain - and to map the origin, journey and impact of their supplies in an accessible and trustworthy manner. Furthermore, Genecoin aims to use blockchain as a tool to comply with Brazilian law, improving traceability. Combined with implementation of smart contracts, this will allow the distribution of revenue along the entire supply chain to ensure all stakeholders to be compensated in a fair, equitable and transparent way. Our platform was developed in partnership with local communities and is currently working alongside with the largest Atlantic Forest private reserve.

I am a blockchain and data science enthusiast. As a chemical engineer, I was awarded Young Entrepreneur by Shell Livewire Brazil. I joined the Google Launchpad Global Accelerator’s Bootcamp, the UC Berkeley’s Lean Startup Launchpad and the Draper University pre-accelerator program in Silicon Valley. In 2018, I founded Genecoin - Blockchain for Biodiversity as a way to use technology to help protect our environment. I am one of the fastest swimmers of my age in Brazil and I swam at the Brazilian Olympic Trial in 2012.
