Eduard Hovakimyan
Co-Founder & Chairperson | Head of Energy & Water Programs
Eduard leads HOVAK’s strategy, partnerships, and its flagship programs — HOVAK Energy and HOVAK Water. He is co-holder of the Solar Compression Power Station’s original patent family and continues to develop the invention’s design and calculations, carrying forward a body of engineering work started in his family more than a decade ago. His innovation work has won three national awards in a single year (EIF Best Tech Solutions, Buissup Global Forum, and the Koriz Development Ideas Competition, all 2021), and in 2020 he coordinated wartime humanitarian logistics that brought roughly six hundred displaced people to safety. Eduard's first profession is film directing — his fiction films have won international awards, and his two educational YouTube channels have grown past 70,000 subscribers. It shows in how HOVAK communicates: complex engineering, explained in language anyone can understand.
