# Filip Molčan – Full Profile > Technology innovator, social entrepreneur, nature conservation volunteer, and newsletter author. Writes about technology from places where the internet doesn't work. Website: https://filipmolcan.com Contact: https://filipmolcan.com/contact --- ## Biography My life is a constant search for balance between the world of technology and the beauty of nature. Since 2002, when I left the "nuclear" program at ČVUT (Czech Technical University), I have found my mission in connecting innovations with social impact and environmental protection. I am most proud of Good Sailors, a company that has been helping people with disabilities find meaningful work and dignity for 23 years. This project has brought me not only a number of awards but, above all, the feeling that business can be a path to positive societal change. My love for nature led me to volunteer work in the Czech Switzerland National Park, where as a ranger and member of the NP Council, I help protect what I consider to be one of our greatest treasures. Photography is my lifelong passion. Thanks to six organized exhibitions and publications in, for example, The Guardian, I have been able to share my view of the world with others, even though I remain at heart an amateur who takes photos for joy. In my role as Chief Innovation Officer at M2C Corporation and as a representative in Doubice, I strive to bring fresh perspectives and new solutions. I believe that true value lies in the connection of human talent, technological advancement, and respect for nature – and I try to reflect this philosophy in everything I do. --- ## Roles & Organizations - **Founder** – Good Sailors (https://www.goodsailors.com) – Social enterprise helping people with disabilities find dignified work, founded 23 years ago - **Chief Innovation Officer** – M2C Corporation (https://www.m2c.eu) – Leading digital transformation and development of new technological solutions in building management (https://www.m2c.eu) – Leading digital transformation and development of new technological solutions in building management - **Volunteer Ranger & NP Council Member** – Czech Switzerland National Park (https://www.npcs.cz) - **Municipal Representative** – Doubice (https://oudoubice.cz) --- ## Newsletters & Podcasts ### Zprávy z lesa (News from the Forest) - Language: Czech - Frequency: Every 2 weeks - Topic: Positive news from the forest and business - URL: https://filipmolcan.substack.com ### News from the Woods - Language: English - Frequency: Every 2 weeks - Topic: Tech, nature, travel – English version of Zprávy z lesa - URL: https://newsfromthewoods.substack.com ### 11 Houses - Language: English - Frequency: Weekly - Topic: Curated selection of affordable properties in Europe – seaside, mountains, villages - URL: https://11houses.substack.com Combined readership: 14,000+ subscribers --- ## Awards & Recognition - Creative Hero of Czechia - Top Responsible Leader in Diversity - Visionary of the Year - Award of Prof. Jiřina Jílková - 100 Innovators of Europe (Google, Financial Times) --- ## Current Focus Areas 1. **Good Sailors** – Continuing to develop social enterprise in Czechia and abroad, even after the 2022 acquisition 2. **M2C Corporation** – Chief Innovation Officer, leading digital transformation and new tech solutions in building management 3. **Newsletter Writing** – Zprávy z lesa, News from the Woods, and 11 Houses 4. **Mentoring** – Startups via StartIt, Idea of the Year, and ICUK; lecturing on innovation and social entrepreneurship 5. **Czech Switzerland National Park** – Volunteer ranger and NP Council member, preserving one of the most beautiful corners of Czechia --- ## Expertise & Interests Technology, Innovation, Social Entrepreneurship, Nature Conservation, Photography, Digital Transformation, Building Management, Startup Mentoring --- ## Social Media & Links - X / Twitter: https://x.com/fipa - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/filipmolcan/ - Substack: https://substack.com/@fipa - Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/molcanf.bsky.social --- ## Site Structure - `/` – Home page with hero, about summary, newsletters, and recognition section - `/about` – Full biography, awards, and current focus areas - `/contact` – Contact form - `/photography/:slug` – Photography projects Languages available: Czech (cs), English (en), Greek (el)
