A few years ago, Sigvald Harryson, then a management consultant and university professor at three universities in Sweden and Denmark, began to explore the topic of decentralization of wind power production. Being the passionate sailor that he is, he discovered that a small 400-watt wind turbine could provide a modern, well-equipped 45-foot sailboat with all the power it needed. Since the year 2000, Sigvald has had solar cells on his boat, but it was not enough to make the boat completely self-sufficient in electricity. In 2008, he invested in a small wind turbine for his new boat Blåöga, which later became the inspiration for InnoVentum. If a turbine can provide so much power to a boat, why wouldn’t it work the same way for a household – and then enable a more sustainable lifestyle? Wouldn’t it be good for our planet if we all had the opportunity to generate green energy so generously given to us by Mother Earth? In true entrepreneurial spirit.
