          Growth in the Mo?t Hennessy group and its 22 prestigious brands has been powered by their pioneering spirit and the conquest of new territories. Today, Moet Hennessy exports 95% of its production and is the world's leading producer and exporter of luxury wines and spirits.

          Supporting Solar Impulse also means celebrating a leap towards a better world. Mo?t Hennessy wants to raise awareness of the vast potential of clean technologies. Mo?t Hennessy, which derives all its products from the earth, has a proactive environmental policy.

          Moet Hennessy Chairman and CEO Christophe Navarre explains: "We immediately felt a very strong connection with Solar Impulse. We love challenges, we have a spirit of conquest, and the success of our brands has always been inspired by noble human adventures. We know how to take risks, to make the impossible possible. We are proud to share this message and to raise awareness of the promises of renewable energy throughout the aircraft's voyage."

          Host Partner of the Mission Control Center

          As well as being Solar Impulse's Official Partner, Moet Hennessy is also the Host Partner of the Mission Control Center in Monaco from which engineers, scientists and meteorologists oversee the project. This crucial center was inaugurated by Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco, whose Foundation is also a partner.

          Giving the challenge an emotional flavor

          Moet Hennessy will be with the Solar Impulse team every step of the way to celebrate every challenge and every success. We greet the commanding pilot, Andre Borschberg or Bertrand Piccard, with a golden jeroboam of Moet & Chandon at each touch down. We toast their incredible courage and achievements. The Moet Hennessy Lounges will be lively spaces for friends and supporters of Solar Impulse who come to follow the project up close. Inspired by the excellence of Mo?t Hennessy brands' products, these spaces will be ambassadors for our art de vivre.
