Jason Drew is a serial entrepreneur whose businesses focus on profitably repairing the future. For over a decade, he has taken concepts from the natural world and, with his vision and drive, turned them into global enterprises. As the leading authority on Environmental Capitalism, Jason inspires audiences by showcasing fascinating and unexpected businesses, many of which he has created, invested in, or advised. He challenges conventional business models by viewing current practices through the lens of the future.
Among his current ventures are Stoak Biotechnologies, which manufactures sustainable organic oak extracts. These formulations naturally replace chemicals used to preserve food and drinks and have applications in wound care for human and animal health. Swarm Technology is a CTA hedge fund that leverages the ‘Swarm Intelligence’ of ants to drive profitable systematic commodity trading. The Swarm Matrix™ trading program uses multiple simple agents that interact with each other and only sample market data once a day, performing consistently through market turmoil.
Hibocare is another innovative company re-inventing air filtration with statically charged Graphene filters. These filters, retrofitted to existing building systems or standalone office units, remove airborne bacteria and viruses from TB to Covid and flu in a single air pass, reducing energy costs and improving public health across various settings.
Jason’s previous companies include Oxitec, a mosquito business, and AgriProtein, a fly business that was recognized as one of TIME Magazine’s 2018 Genius Companies for ‘inventing the future.’ His closed-systems thinking approach makes his companies profitable, yet simple and brilliant.
Described by Forbes Magazine as ‘Lord of the Flies’ and by Leadership Magazine as one of ‘Africa’s most inspiring green leaders,’ Jason is a realist with a no-nonsense, business-focused approach to solving problems. As the Honorary Consul General for Pakistan in South Africa, he was awarded the 2013 United Nations Innovation Prize for Africa and the Clean Equity award by HSH Prince Albert of Monaco.
