Sponsored by EXIST-Gründerstipendium, Mowea’s Modular Wind Turbines aim to supplement solar/ photovoltaic facilities for an independent energy supply of private households and industrial plants. With Mowea, energy generated from the wind and sun can be injected into a common energy grid with very minor expenditure. Mowea synced with Companisto to raise €350,000; the company currently has secured more than €444,580 from over 720 investors for 17.95% equity. Funding will be used to complete Mowea’s technology as a close-to-production prototype and validate it in different pilot tests in order to secure Series-A-financing.
Alongside the high efficiency, the major advantages of Mowea systems seem to be their low purchase price and their low environmental impact (noise reduction and safeguards for birds) which as suitable for single-family houses, mobile radio masts, and rooftops in urban or industrial surroundings. The campaign reported that MOWEA had just started a pilot project with telecommunication provider Vodafone.

The Berlin-based company was founded Dr. Till Naumann and Andreas Amberger not only to aspire toward internationalization but also to use their technology in developing and emerging countries as well as in disaster areas.
