Ludovic Deblois
Ludovic Deblois, born 25 November 1977 in Reims, is a French writer.
Biography
In 1996, Ludovic Deblois enrolled at the University of Technology of Compiègne[1], where he pursued engineering studies carried out in France, Austria, the United States and Spain.
In 2001, he joined the PSA Peugeot Citroën group, where he worked in the logistics sector for the group’s factories in Europe and Iran.
During this period, he also made numerous trips to Asia, South America and Africa.
In 2006, he joined CLS[2] to deploy sustainable fisheries management solutions in Africa and the Middle East. In the course of his missions, he collaborated with governments, international institutions, NGOs and private companies.
In 2009, he founded, with Joël Gilbert[3], astrophysicist and inventor, the company Sunpartner Technologies, which develops photovoltaic glazing products. In 2011, he presented a first prototype and won the first prize at the CTIA conference in Orlando[4]. In 2012, Ernst & Young awarded him the Prize for Company of the Future[5][6]. After significant investments, the company developed its products and installed pilot production units in Rousset (Provence) for the consumer electronics[7] and building sectors[8][9][10]. The technology was selected among the “36 pioneer technologies” of 2014 by the World Economic Forum[11]. In 2018, while Sunpartner Technologies was preparing to launch new products, it failed to secure a financing round[12][13]. It entered judicial reorganization[14] and sold part of its activities to Garmin, which launched the first products equipped with the technology in August 2019[15].
In 2020, he published his first novel Les licornes aussi renaissent de leurs cendres…[16][17], published by Candela. This novel is inspired by his life as an entrepreneur.
In 2021, he published his first essay Autonomie(s)[18][19]. The work addresses individual, local and collective autonomy as the cornerstone of a political and philosophical vision.
In 2022, he published the novel Inversion[20], a dystopia set in 2041. On 13 April 2024, he received the Sud-Est Regional Literary Prize, awarded by the Lions Club, for his novel Inversion[21].
