Turkish technology startup Werover, known for its innovative solutions in wind turbine blade health monitoring, has raised USD 1.7 million in a new investment round aimed at expanding its international footprint.
The funding was led by Qatar-based Alchemist Doha, with participation from a number of prominent investors including Kerim Kotan, Cleantech Ventures, Erdem Holding, Ata Akça, Founder One, Burcu Gezegen, and Yalın Karadoğan.
Werover's flagship product Windrover is gaining traction in the renewable energy sector for its novel approach to detecting blade damage in wind turbines. The compact, mountable device is installed on turbine towers and captures acoustic data from the blades. This data is analyzed using AI to detect potential damage with a reported 92 percent accuracy rate, enabling early intervention and maintenance.
Founded in Türkiye in 2018, Werover has since expanded to Germany and relocated its headquarters to London to strengthen its presence in the European market. Over the past 18 months, the company has completed more than 400 installations, a milestone that reflects its growing influence in the wind energy industry.
Commenting on the investment, Werover CEO Balca Yılmaz said, “With this funding, we will focus on increasing our deployments and customer base across Europe." “We are thrilled to bring value to wind energy operations with our high-tech, innovative product that is set to transform the dynamics of this vital industry. We are proud that some of our customers became investors after seeing the results first-hand."
Werover plans to use the investment to accelerate installations across Europe and expand its global market reach.
