Heliatek's mission is to transform every building surface (horizontal, vertical, curved, rigid or flexible, transparent or opaque) into a fundamentally Green and Clean electricity generator. After more than a decade of deep research in materials and processes, winning prestigious awards, and completing dozens of pilot installations in Europe, Middle-East, and South-East Asia, Heliatek started its commercial operations in 2021, serving a group of international customers active in energy management and building renovation. My responsibility is to shape and drive the transformation of Heliatek from a technology innovator to an innovation-to-market oriented company, without losing its innovative edge, and at the same time securing the financial basis for long-term sustainable profitable growth. Successfully raised funding in 2019/2020 to fuel Heliatek's growth.
