Laurence Kemball-Cook Biography
Laurence Kemball-Cook is the founder and CEO of Pavegen Systems, a clean technology company based in London with a research and development center in Cambridge. Kemball-Cook holds a first-class honors degree in industrial design and technology from Loughborough University. He developed the concept for Pavegen while exploring renewable energy solutions for street lighting during a university placement with a European energy company. This experience led him to focus on the potential of kinetic energy in urban environments, rather than traditional wind and solar solutions.
Pavegen is a flooring technology that converts kinetic energy from footsteps into renewable, off-grid energy. The first prototype was funded by a Royal Society of Arts International Design Directions prize. Pavegen has been installed in more than 300 locations across 45 countries, capturing over a billion footsteps. The technology has been utilized by brands including Westfield, Canary Wharf, UEFA, Ford, Uber, and Barclays, and has powered projects such as football pitches, dance floors, and the world's longest linear walkway in Saudi Arabia's Sports Boulevard.
Kemball-Cook has collaborated with individuals such as solar entrepreneur and artist Akon, football player Pelé, and will.i.am to promote clean technology and renewable energy solutions. He contributed to the creation of the world's largest energy harvesting floor with Google for a smartphone launch in Berlin. Kemball-Cook has participated in trade missions to China and the United States as part of sustainability initiatives alongside UK government officials.
Kemball-Cook has received more than 20 awards, including the UK Bloomberg Business Innovator award, Eco Entrepreneur of the Year, the PEA Awards' Businessman of the Year, and recognition as a Shell LiveWIRE Entrepreneur of the Year finalist. He was also named an SXSW Smart Cities winner. Kemball-Cook is a frequent speaker on entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable energy, with multiple TEDx talks, including a featured TEDx Berlin presentation. His work has been covered by The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian, highlighting Pavegen's role in advancing renewable energy and sustainable urban technology.
