Digitalising wind energy

We're building an app ecosystem for planning and operating wind farms.

What would you do with an extra hour every day?

Our apps speed up common wind energy workflows. Where do you need help?

Wind lidar fleet management made easy

If you've got more than one lidar, you'll like our first app. It helps you keep on top of your fleet's data and make informed decisions.

Quick to start

Get set up in 2 minutes or less

Easy to use

No PhD needed to interpret the results

Safe

Never lose track of your data again

The human touch

Apps can't do everything. So if you need a helping hand, call us to find out about our wind lidar consultancy services.

Would you like to know how everyone else uses wind lidar?

Us too! So we're running a survey of the global wind lidar user community.

The results are updated in real time, and we'll be sharing what we learn through groups like IEA Wind Task 52.

We're a spinoff from the University of Stuttgart

The idea for enviConnect came when we were all working together at the Chair of Wind Energy at the University of Stuttgart.

We saw how much research never made it out of the labs, so we set up enviConnect to bring the best wind energy R&D to our customers.

In March 2023 we were awarded an EXIST Business Start-up Grant from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection to develop a new wind lidar management tool.

Our experience

We're a startup, but we're not new at this.

We're contributing to sustainable development

Gender equality

We believe that the energy revolution will need everyone's contribution, and that everyone should get the chance to contribute. We're building a business where people of all genders are welcome and can flourish.

Affordable and clean energy

We believe everyone should have access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy. For us, that means doing what we can to speed up the adoption of wind energy.

Sustainable cities and communities

We believe that human settlements should be inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Using local wind energy increases resilience and is more sustainable because it reduces reliance on imported fossil fuels.

Climate action

Our societies need to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Electrification and producing energy from the wind will help reduce emissions.
