- Minesto AB (publ) develops and commercializes innovative marine energy technology for generating electricity from tidal streams and ocean currents using patented subsea kite systems. The company offers its flagship Deep Green and Dragon class products, including the Dragon 12 (1.2 MW rated power, 12-meter wing span, 28 tonnes) and Dragon 4 (100 kW rated power, 4.9-meter wing span, 2.7 tonnes), which operate by flying underwater kites tethered to the seabed to achieve high relative flow speeds for efficient power generation in low-velocity waters; it also provides site development, operations, maintenance services, and microgrid solutions integrating tidal power for baseload renewable energy. Minesto AB (publ) targets utility companies, off-grid industries, and renewable energy markets in regions with suitable tidal resources, with key operations in Sweden, the Faroe Islands, Taiwan, and previously Wales and Northern Ireland. Founded in 2007 as a spin-off from Saab, the company maintains headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, at J A Wettergrens gata 14, and employs approximately 50 professionals with expertise in hydrodynamics, control systems, and subsea engineering. Main shareholders include BGA Invest and Corespring New Technology, with shares listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market (MINEST.ST). Recent developments include a SEK 99 million rights issue completed in October 2025 to fund commercial rollout; a SEK 22 million loan from Fenja Capital in June 2025 for working capital; a 25 MSEK grant from the Swedish Energy Agency in June 2025 to lead a consortium with Capture Energy, Sev, and IVL for a tidal microgrid in Vestmanna, Faroe Islands, launched in September 2025 with local end-user applications; completion of a cost-reducing reorganization in July 2025 with 35% lower fixed costs and geographic relocations; appointment of Alexander Jancke as CFO in August 2025; achievement of a 25% power increase via longer tether on the Dragon 12 (Luna) in June 2025; and accelerated site maturation at Hestfjord for the world's first commercial-scale Dragon Farm array, alongside partnership explorations in Indonesia, Canada, Ireland, Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
