Perito Costruttore Aeronautico
Published 112 days ago Turin, Deadline February 28, 2025
At the moment my only focus is on being able to bring the "KGM1" initiative (https://solarimpulse.com/solutions-explorer/kgm1) into TRL 7, creating and testing prototype n° 3, in order to understand the real potential of this new linear generation AWE technology. The conditions exist to create the most disruptive AWE generation technology, bringing the initiative to at least 10% of the value assigned to the Airborne Wind Energy business, i.e. 10 million euros, within two years of launch, but I can't anymore - alone - to take the project to a higher level. Therefore, I am willing to cede commercial control and manage only the technical part, under conditions to be defined and maintaining a minority shareholding percentage. A parallel objective will be to create the conditions to reward those who have contributed to the growth of the initiative with their "sweat for equity".
