Founded in 2023, Winse Power is a technology company spun out of Tampere University that develops light-based energy and data transmission solutions for demanding operating environments. The company’s technology is based on expertise in the fields of photonics and optoelectronics developed at Tampere University.
In Winse Power’s solutions, energy and data are transmitted using light, for example via optical fibre. The technology offers a secure and interference-free alternative for applications where traditional electrical connections do not meet the requirements of the operating environment.
Impact
Winse Power develops new solutions for transmitting energy and data in environments where safety, reliability and performance are key requirements. The technology is suitable, for example, for high-voltage systems, quantum technology, space applications and the smart infrastructures of the future.
The company’s solutions support the adoption of energy-efficient and scalable technologies and promote the use of photonics in new areas of application.
Background
Winse Power has its roots in research carried out at Tampere University into photonics and optoelectronics, particularly light-based energy and data transmission solutions. The company was established to commercialise the technology developed in the WINSe project (Wireless Energy Transfer Infrastructure for Next-Generation Systems). The commercialisation of the research results was supported by Business Finland’s Research to Business funding.
