Elan Future is a project that is working towards achieving universal access to energy. Recently, we caught up with its CEO, Jerome-Olivier Malo and asked a few questions to gain some insights about him and the project.
Elan – Unveiling the VisionQ: Let’s start with the present day. Could you share with our readers what Elan is and what inspired the creation of this innovative company?
Elan Future is an uprising against the darkness that blankets millions of lives. Our battle is against the injustice of energy poverty and the passivity in facing the world’s dire energy crunch. We are here to flip the script on how energy is shared, saved, and savored.
Enter Apollo — not your everyday generator, but a maverick of magnetic marvel that’s redefining efficiency. It’s our secret sauce in the quest for an electrified planet, a piece of tomorrow’s technology here to disrupt today’s energy norms.
The spark for Elan? It was the world’s energy outcry that no one could ignore. As the globe grapples with an energy plight that hits both wallets and resources hard, we saw a beacon of hope in the form of Apollo, ready to lead the charge in this new energy revolution.
Our ranks are filled with the best and bravest — physicists defying the status quo, Hydro-Québec engineers with electricity in their veins, financial wizards who see beyond the bottom line, and angel investors with their gaze fixed on a horizon lit by innovation.
What inspired Elan’s inception was a cocktail of frustration and foresight — frustration at a world where energy is a privilege and foresight that sees it as a fundamental right. By welding our state-of-the-art tech with the bedrock of blockchain, we’re sparking a transparent energy uprising. Elan Future is here to ensure energy is not just consumed but embraced as a universal currency of progress. It’s not just about keeping the lights on; it’s about igniting a flame of change in every soul we touch.
Inception and Community ImpactQ: What was the spark that ignited the idea for Elan Future? How do you envision it making a positive impact on the community and beyond?
The spark for Elan Future came from a profound place of need—a need that you can see in the eyes of the millions who live off the grid, and in the strained grids of our cities that barely keep up with our current demands. It struck me during a blackout; as I sat there in the dark, I realized that this was a daily reality for so many people. That moment of frustration lit the fire of creation for Elan.
I envision Elan Future as a catalyst for change. With Apollo, we’re proposing a new way of life. It’s about creating a world where energy is not a luxury but a given. A world where communities can thrive, not just survive, because they have the power—literally—to do so.
But the impact doesn’t stop at the light switch. We’re talking about empowering communities with the means to grow and sustain themselves. Energy drives education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Imagine schools that can light up young minds, hospitals that can save lives around the clock, and small businesses that can flourish. That’s the future Elan is dedicated to building.
And on a larger scale, by bringing energy to areas that were previously in the dark, we’re sparking innovation on a global level. We’re contributing to the creation of a more balanced, more connected world, where the flow of energy is as natural and equitable as the flow of information is today
The Journey Behind ElanQ: Jerome, you have an extensive background in various endeavors before Elan Future. Could you take our readers on a journey through your experiences and how they’ve led you to this point?
Absolutely, it’s been quite the adventure, and every step has played a part in leading me to where I am today with Elan Future.
My journey started in the tech industry, where I was fascinated by the power of technology to connect people and ideas. I spent years working with dynamic startups, where I learned that at the heart of any successful innovation lies a keen understanding of the human experience.
From there, I ventured into the world of finance. I saw how economic systems could either enable growth or create barriers. This experience was eye-opening—it was about understanding risk, recognizing potential, and investing in ideas that could shape the future.
But it was my time spent volunteering with non-profits that truly set the stage for Elan Future. I saw firsthand the challenges faced without reliable energy. Schools struggled to stay open after dark, medical clinics couldn’t preserve life-saving vaccines, and simple tasks were monumental without power.
This patchwork of experiences brought clarity. The tech industry taught me about the power of innovation, finance showed me how to turn ideas into reality, and my time in the field revealed the critical need for sustainable energy solutions. The throughline was clear—energy was the key to unlocking potential on an individual and global scale.
With Elan Future, I’ve taken this tapestry of experiences and weaved them into our mission. Every lesson learned, every success and setback, has been a stepping stone to this moment, where we have the opportunity to illuminate lives and empower communities on a scale that truly matters.

Dr. Benoit Guay is our scientific maestro, a PhD in Applied Physics with a mind that’s as brilliant as it is unconventional. His groundbreaking work on the edges of physics—including mass reversals and magnetic susceptibility—puts us leagues ahead in the field of energy innovation. Benoit is the brain behind the science that powers Elan Future’s technology.
Sylvain Roy, Esq, is the guardian of our intellectual arsenal. With a keen eye for technology monetization and a sharp mind for IP valuation, he navigates the complex waters of international law with the finesse of a seasoned captain. His lectures at the IP Business Academy and CEIPI at Université de Strasbourg are just a sliver of the prowess he brings to our legal strategy.
Doryne Bourque is the heartbeat of our corporate social responsibility. Her positions on various boards demonstrate her leadership and commitment to sustainable development and responsible finance. Her passion for equitable resource distribution aligns perfectly with our mission, guiding Elan Future’s strategic decisions with a conscience.
Last but not least, Denis Chartrand, eng, is the architect of our infrastructure. His experience at Hydro-Québec, where he was instrumental in developing strategies post-the 1998 ice storm, has given him unparalleled expertise in resilient and smart grid technology. Denis’s vision shapes the robust and innovative framework that allows our technology to thrive.
Together, this dream team’s diverse skills and passions fuel Elan Future’s drive to bring sustainable, reliable energy to every corner of the globe. We’re more than just a company; we’re a collective force on a mission to electrify the future, and our team’s expertise is our powerhouse.
Elan’s MilestonesQ: Could you highlight some of the noteworthy breakthroughs and milestones that Elan Future has achieved so far?
Our journey with the Apollo Generator is a testament to our commitment to innovation and transformative change. Filing several patents for Apollo was just the beginning. These patents are more than documents; they’re the blueprints for a future where access to energy is universal—a future we’re actively constructing.
Launching our blockchain and introducing our own token was a bold move towards a vision where energy isn’t just consumed but is part of a transparent, equitable exchange. It’s about giving power back to the people—literally. We’ve given away millions in free tokens, not as a promotional stunt, but as a statement of our belief in a community-driven energy revolution. This token isn’t just a currency; it’s a new way of connecting people to their power, their community, their environment.
The creation of Apollo and our other groundbreaking innovation, the Pathfinder, represent the pinnacle of our achievements.
Every step we’ve taken at Elan Future is a step towards demystifying and democratizing energy. We are a movement powered by the courage to reimagine what’s possible, making the future accessible, one innovation at a time.
