Innoventum AB
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.

About us
We are featured in more than 80 international publications, participated in and organised a number of exciting events (e.g., Microgrids Special Event at the Vienna Energy Forum (with the Swedish Energy Agency and UNIDO), Green Cities of Tomorrow, Green Vehicle Days, Wooden Tower Design Release Event in collaboration with Tesla), took part in 2 Guinness Records in e-mobility (Germany, Denmark), installed our solutions at the global climate conference COP 22 in Marrakech and completed a microgrid installation at a remote island in Sri Lanka (commissioned by the Asian Development Bank).
Why choose InnoVentum?
We are the only provider of small-scale renewable energy solutions that offers wooden towers. Wood has the unique ability to capture and store carbon dioxide while reducing carbon sources. Each cubic metre of wood saves a total of 2 tons of carbon dioxide. In this way each of our wooden towers reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, while steel towers (the industry standard right now) are associated with sizeable carbon emissions during manufacturing. Wood, unlike steel, is a renewable material, which makes it a sustainable choice.
Our solutions have a number of functional advantages, such as making the operation of wind turbines more silent, solar production - more efficient, energy production - better distributed throughout the day and year. Our solutions have been developed in collaboration with leading European universities and research centres. Our partners and the InnoVentum team devoted countless engineering hours to R&D and testing.
Our solutions are an eye-catcher in our customers' gardens and in public places - some even call them the most beautiful wind turbines in Sweden! We draw our inspiration from the great works of art, architectural landmarks and the world of nature. Our designs are unique and constitute an important part of our IP.
