Turkish-born cleantech startup Werover has secured a fresh $1.7 million investment to take its AI-powered wind turbine monitoring technology to new heights, literally. The funding round was led by Qatar-based Alchemist Doha, with participation from a strong lineup of strategic investors.
This milestone marks a major step forward in Werover’s mission to make wind energy more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable.
A Power Move Toward Global Expansion
Founded in 2018 in Turkey and now headquartered in London, Werover has quickly positioned itself as a key innovator in the renewable energy space. The new investment follows a previous $350,000 round raised in May 2023, and will help fuel Werover’s European growth strategy and global ambitions.
Who’s on board?
The $1.7 million funding round brought together an impressive group of investors including:
- ✅ Kerim Kotan
- ✅ Cleantech Ventures
- ✅ Erdem Holding
- ✅ Ata Akça
- ✅ Founder One
- ✅ Burcu Planet
- ✅ Yalın Karadoğan
This diverse pool of backers reflects growing global interest in smart energy solutions that can support the clean energy transition.
How Werover’s Technology Works
Werover delivers a SaaS-based solution that’s designed to monitor the health of wind turbine blades using a compact device installed directly on turbine towers.
Here’s how it works:
- Collects acoustic data from inside the turbine
- Analyzes the data using AI algorithms
- Detects damage in real time
- Shares insights via a mobile and desktop app, enabling faster, more targeted maintenance
This allows wind farm operators to predict failures, reduce costly downtimes, and extend the life of their turbines, all while cutting operational costs.
So far, Werover has completed over 400 installations in just the past 1.5 years, showing real momentum and demand for smarter wind tech.
What’s Next for Werover?
With fresh capital in hand, Werover plans to:
- ✅ Scale field deployments across Europe
- ✅ Accelerate technology development
- ✅ Expand global market presence
- ✅ Grow its customer base across new regions
CEO Balca Yilmaz shared the company’s excitement for the road ahead:
“This investment will help us scale both our installations and customer reach in Europe. We’re also excited to contribute to the wind energy sector in other parts of the world, making clean energy smarter and more reliable.”
Why it Matters
As the world races toward carbon neutrality, wind energy is playing a leading role in reshaping the global energy mix. However, keeping those massive turbines in top condition is no small task.
That’s where Werover’s innovation stands out, offering a data-driven, AI-powered monitoring solution that ensures turbines run efficiently and reliably.
By making turbine maintenance predictive rather than reactive, Werover is helping unlock the full potential of renewable energy.
