Early life and career
Michel de Kemmeter attended the Rijksuniversiteit Gent University in Belgium, graduating in Civil Engineering. Later on, he attended the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven for the degree in Sales Engineer. His works were published in French language English and German English and German.

His first published books were reference books on construction materials, such as natural stone, blue stone and wood. In this field of work, he has started a business specialized on treatment after laying, solutions to the pathology of natural stone and chemistry/physics of the stone after installation.

In 1996 he has started to invest on Real Estate in Belgium and since then has been sharing experiences as investor in private housing with Fortune de Briques at Éditions Racine.

Human development work
In 2001 he invented the "Motivation Wheel", a psychological tool for a circular analysis of human characteristics, such as behavior, values, concerns, needs and desires for inner fulfillment. This work explained about an interpretative framework for connecting "doing" and "being" throughup aspirations, fears and internal strengths. The model was designed to be used for improving various corporate aspects, such as corporate culture development, time management and values, evaluation of intangible assets, coaching and individual's mentoring.

Later, in 2005, he published the book "The Value of Time" and the "Die Werte der Zeit" edition by the publisher Swinti Verlag GmbH, and "La Valeur du Temps" in 2006 by Éditions Racine. The book was a popular work of philosophy and psychology applied to management and life. It updated the Greek nations of chronos, kairos and aion in a practical way to find openess of self to life. Today, he is a trainer of this subject at the Free University of Brussels and at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve (LSM).

Present
De Kemmeter has started in 2006 a network of reflection and innovation on human development and societal development, named UHDR (Universal Human Development and Research). This network of collaborators has been creating tools for development of human potential, self-connection and experiential conscious mentoring, in collaboration with medics, sportsmen, companies, universities, philosophers and therapists.

Some innovation works of the network were "Triple Accounting" (for knowledge and emotional balance in companies), "CoherenceXplorer" (a tool to transform human apprehensions into human development potential) and "Culture Coherence" (approaching circles of coherence in organizations). These tools in general aim to give assessments of perceived corporate identity, positioning relative to competitors, values, strengths and development areas, assessment and quantification of intangible assets, customers satisfactio, and a consistency's degree of the company.

In 2008, he has founded UniversCité UHDR (UHDR UniverseCity) of Sustainable Human Development, which in experimental mode has launched in February 2010 the "Master in Sustainable Development of People" - a course of "skills development" based on concepts of participation and experimental learning.

He organized also the "1€ Wake Up Plan - Emergence Forum " about twenty business and social issues, research that has been done together with organizations, schools and corporate partners and published in form of articles, books, conferences and WebTV.
