About Us
Story
​
In November 2015 ACT Blade Ltd was founded to develop and commercialise the ACT Blade technology, created and patented by its founders. In October 2019, its subsidiary ACT Blade Europe S.r.l. was founded to develop the firm’s core operations, R&D activities, and manufacturing capacity in continental Europe.
Since the outset, ACT Blade has collaborated with leading industry players and various European research & Innovation centres. From 2019, it has been supported by EIT InnoEnergy. In 2023, ACT Blade has been selected as one a top 100 solutions in Europe for the transition to net-zero by the-arch.eu.
​An initial feasibility study (conducted in collaboration with DNV-GL and ORE Catapult) demonstrated the technical viability and potential energy cost saving benefits of our technology.
Since then, we have developed a prototype 13m long ACT Blade (named the ACT27) that has passed the static, fatigue and static-post-fatigue tests at ORE Catapult. Three ACT27 were mounted on a 225KW turbine on the 30 Jul 2021 and generated energy for 6-months to demonstrate its operational viability (test run for 6-months and successfully completed on the 31st of Jan 2022).
A wholly-owned subsidiary company – ACT Blade Europe S.r.l. was founded in October 2019 in Italy, to develop the firm’s core operations, some R&D activities, and manufacturing capacity in continental Europe.
