Partners & early traction
The UK’s leading technology innovation and research centre for offshore renewable energy is our validation partner — our prototype was proven on a commercial offshore wind farm through this collaboration.
Our proof-of-concept results attracted strong commercial interest from the world’s leading wind-turbine OEM in the UK market, with a demonstration project in negotiation.
In China, our results have attracted strong commercial interest from C-EPRI, the largest Chinese grid-equipment OEM, for the grid market.
Beyond wind: our commercialisation now includes contracts with electric vehicle manufacturers as the design and test platform expands to EV traction.
