Boyan Slat (born 27 July 1994)[2][3] is a Dutch inventor and entrepreneur.[4] A former aerospace engineering student,[5][6] he is the CEO of The Ocean Cleanup.[7]

In 2013 Slat founded the non-profit entity The Ocean Cleanup, of which he is now the CEO.[7] The group's mission is to develop advanced technologies to rid the world's oceans of plastic.[11] It raised US$2.2 million through a crowd funding campaign with the help of 38,000 donors from 160 countries.[12] In June 2014, the Ocean Cleanup published a 528-page feasibility study[13] about the project's potential. Several critics declared the concept unfeasible in a technical critique[14][15][16] of the feasibility study on the Deep Sea News website, which was cited by other publications, including Popular Science[17] and The Guardian.[18]

Since the Ocean Cleanup started, the organization has raised tens of millions of dollars in donations from entrepreneurs in Europe and in Silicon Valley, including Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.[19][20]
