Hydro Wind Energy is a tech start working on disruptive technologies to help solve the world’s water crisis. We are also aiming to play a major role in the global transition to renewables. We are developing an offshore based kite energy system that harnesses altitude wind using kites. The technology is a hybrid system that also provides energy storage.
How did you come up with the idea for the company?
The environmental challenge we face is probably one of the biggest threats facing humanity. The company was incepted on the belief that we can make a difference by developing specific technologies and solutions for energy and water. Energy being one of the primary contributors to the environmental crisis.
