Waarom deze Belg zijn leven als professioneel kitesurfer inruilde voor een eigen tech start-up: “Ook als ondernemer moet je veel golven trotseren”

Een app die consumenten instant inzicht geeft in de impact van hun voedingskeuzes op de planeet én de eigen gezondheid. Jerome Cloetens ruilde zijn leven als professioneel kitesurfer in om samen met zijn neef Simon Hendrickx de Antwerpse tech start-up Palau op te richten. “De voedingsindustrie is verantwoordelijk voor één derde van de wereldwijde vervuiling. Ik zag dit met eigen ogen tijdens mijn reizen als professioneel kitesurfer en ik voelde dat we er iets moesten aan doen”, vertelt Cloetens in een interview met Bloovi.
