Boyan Slat, born 1994, is a Dutch inventor and entrepreneur. At 18, after encountering more plastic than fish while diving in Greece, he questioned why ocean pollution couldn't be cleaned. This inspired him to research plastic pollution, leading to his passive clean-up concept, which he presented at TEDxDelft in 2012.

He founded The Ocean Cleanup, temporarily pausing his aerospace engineering studies to lead a team of approximately 50. His 2017 speech detailed a design breakthrough for the project.
