Enerthing was founded in 2016 by Dr. Michael Niggemann with the mission to solve the growing challenge of powering the fast-growing number of IoT devices. A future with billions of connected IoT devices constrained in performance by primary batteries which need replacing did call for an alternative solution. The starting point for founding Enerthing was the identified growing need of a scalable, economical and sustainable energy supply for the IoT world combined with the deep technical knowledge about next generation organic photovoltaic technology with its excellent suitability for low light and indoor light energy harvesting.
Starting with support from angel investors, Enerthing is proud to have competent and supporting investors, i.e. Fraunhofer, NRW Bank and Energie 360° Innovationsfonds on board.
Since 2016 Enerthing has grown to an interdisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, software developers and business experts.
