Bernard Muller is a pioneering entrepreneur, AI artist, and disability advocate who exemplifies technology's power to redefine human potential. After building a successful maritime empire in Rotterdam's port—including the award-winning "one-stop-shop" concept that revolutionized ship services—Bernard was diagnosed with ALS in 2010. Rather than retreat, he channeled his entrepreneurial spirit into combating the disease, co-founding Project MinE (the world's largest ALS genetic research project), establishing biotech company Treeway, and creating an ALS-focused investment fund.
Living with advanced ALS, Bernard has become a trailblazer in assistive technology and AI-powered creativity. Using only his eyes to control sophisticated systems, he creates stunning AI artworks, manages investments, and drives innovation in disability technology. His work developing personalized AI assistants and digital twins represents the cutting edge of human-computer integration. Bernard's philosophy—"Someone can and will find a way, why not be that one?"—drives his mission to prove that physical limitations cannot constrain human potential when paired with the right technology
