About company
Windar Photonics A/S is a young, forward-looking spin-off company from the Risø DTU research environment. In 2005, a research scientist had a bright idea for how to make wind sensing with LIDAR better and less expensive. WINDAR is a contraction of WIND and LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). This novel LIDAR architecture was developed through collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark and Photonics. Three years later, a breakthrough came for a new system of measuring the wind accurately over long distances. With a robust private equity fund behind it, Windar Photonics first saw the light of day in 2008. Since then, a team of innovative employees has joined the company, working to make wind turbines all over the world more effective.
