Founded in 2016, the Fifth Element is an association that aims to recreate a harmony between nature, Man and technology to ensure a sustainable ecological and technological transition for future generations. Its ambition is to reconnect the 4 fundamental elements (Water, Sun, Wind, Earth) to Man, the fifth element.
The Fifth Element Association works with a wide audience : citizens, start-ups, companies, investors, elected officials, public institutions, associations, children … It organizes international events that bring together all these actors in a common interest : the preservation of natural resources through technological and social innovation.
In 2019, the Association organizes the 2nd edition of the International CleanTeck Week in Annecy from 19th to 22nd June 2019. In parallel, its teams are mobilized to organize the 1st edition of the International Meeting of Sustainable Mobility in partnership with the town hall of Saint Tropez from 20th to 24th September 2019.
The Fifth Element Association is composed of about thirty committed and passionate people (90% volunteers), integrating business leaders, young graduates, doctors, association leaders … and even astronauts!
We want to accelerate the future of cleantechs with a green economy and associated jobs and thus help to make France the world leader in green technologies.
A word from the General Director
“We are a 1901 association, the Fifth Element, and we believe that today clean technologies are exploding around the world. The idea is to bring them together, to show them and to make the public adhere to these new technologies. We are doing a CleanTech event to make everyone want to adopt and use them as soon as possible. “
