Emerging Global Leaders Shaping the Future in 2026
Company: Eudori
Designation: Founder
Country: Canada
Vicky Carmithe Pierre is emerging as a thoughtful innovator at the intersection of biology, technology, and sustainable energy, bringing a scientific yet human-centred perspective to how future energy systems can be designed and experienced. As the founder of Eudori, she is developing bio-batteries powered by microalgae, positioning living systems as a complementary layer within distributed energy use rather than a replacement for existing infrastructure.
Eudori’s technology is rooted in a natural process: photosynthesis. Microalgae, like other plants, release electrons as they convert light into energy. These electrons are captured using electrodes and a mediator molecule, then stored in a capacitor for later use. The result is a bio-battery that operates through biological activity, translating complex scientific principles into a tangible and functional energy solution.
At its current stage of development, Eudori focuses on technological showcases rather than controlled laboratory isolation. These installations are designed to observe how bio-batteries behave in real-world conditions, particularly when used by the general public and integrated into everyday spaces. Montréal cafés were selected as testing environments due to their high student traffic, frequent demand for charging laptops and mobile phones, and limited access to wall outlets. This setting offers realistic insights into how people interact with the technology, what performs effectively, and where practical limitations emerge.
By embedding bio-batteries into active public spaces, Eudori gathers valuable feedback on usability, durability, and user behaviour, allowing the technology to evolve in response to lived experience rather than theoretical assumptions. This approach reflects a broader philosophy of testing innovation where it matters most: in daily life.
Looking toward 2026 and beyond, Eudori aims to further develop bio-batteries as a complementary energy layer that can coexist with existing systems. Rather than positioning bio-energy as a standalone solution, the company explores how living technologies can support and enhance current energy infrastructures in a sustainable and adaptable way.
Behind this vision is Vicky Pierre, a biologist with a background in research and innovation management. Her work is defined by the ability to translate complex biological systems into practical, testable applications that remain grounded in long-term sustainability. Through Eudori, she continues to explore how living systems can be thoughtfully integrated into devices and environments, offering a glimpse into how science, design, and sustainability may converge in the future of energy.
