Alejandro Agag

Alejandro Agag is a former Spanish Politician, businessman, entrepreneur and visionary; Founder & Chairman of Formula E, Founder & CEO of Extreme E, Extreme H, and Founder & Chairman of the new E1 series. Having won a seat in the European Parliament, becoming the youngest Spanish person to ever do so at the age of 28, Alejandro decided to leave the world of politics and move into motorsport, purchasing the F1 TV rights in Spain. A few years later after investing in the English football club QPR, together with his business partner he began Formula E Holdings, winning the tender to promote the new FIA Formula E Championship. As the Founder and Chairman of Formula E Alejandro has steered the ABB FIA Formula E Championship from an initial idea, and a note on a napkin, to becoming the fastest-growing category in racing, touted by many as the future of motorsport. This sparked the idea of Alejandro’s next ventures, Extreme E. Launched in 2019, this series was credited as the first sport to ever be built out of a social purpose. The radical electric off-road racing series used its electric sporting platform to showcase futuristic technologies and gender equal racing in some of the world’s most challenging environments, including Greenland, Chile, Uruguay, Senegal and Saudi Arabia. The series is currently undergoing evolution to become Extreme H, the world’s first hydrogen racing series, coming in 2025. E1 is Alejandro’s newest venture, an Electric powerboat series with a boat that will revolutionise marine mobility. Launched in 2020 the E1 series aims to build the most exciting sport event in order to increase the awareness around the conservation of the most important ecosystem for the survival of our planet: Water. In recognition of his achievements, Alejandro has received multiple awards, including in June 2024 when he was awarded the most prestigious personal award of the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) for ‘Outstanding Contribution to the Motorsport Industry’, at the UK’s House of Lords. Past winners include Toto Wolff, Ross Brawn OBE, Sir Jackie Stewart and Adrian Newey OBE amongst many others.
