The company has secured SEK 50 million in a new share issue to scale up production of its unique integrated turbine solution, which can increase energy production at hydropower plants by between 7 and 10 percent. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SeaPattern&#8217;s technology is based on harnessing the kinetic energy of the flowing water downstream of a hydropower plant. Using proprietary software, the turbines are optimally positioned in the stream to maximize electricity production &#8211; a solution that is both cost-effective and quick to install.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company has now raised SEK 50 million to industrialize the technology. The largest investor in the new issue is the state-founded venture capital company Industrifonden.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company&#8217;s total funding since its inception in 2020 now amounts to SEK 71 million, the vast majority of which is venture capital. Among other things, Norrsken Launcher stepped in as a partner this spring. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8220;Lately, we have been focusing on moving from prototype, pilot to industrial production, and this funding allows us to build a whole new level of capacity. It feels fantastic,&#8221; says Niklas Boman, CEO and co-founder. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LEAD CEO Catharina Sandberg comments:  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; SeaPattern is a great example of how technology, sustainability and entrepreneurship can come together. To see a company leave us with a golden boot and then raise 50 million to industrialize their solution &#8211; that&#8217;s exactly what we at LEAD want to enable for our entrepreneurs. We are extremely proud to have been part of SeaPattern&#8217;s journey.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Svart\u00e5fors hydropower plant outside Link\u00f6ping will be the site of the first installation, which will demonstrate how the technology can give existing hydropower producers higher returns with little intervention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plan is to launch the product on the market by the end of 2026, with a view to establishing it both in Sweden and internationally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SeaPattern, which was kicked out of LEAD&#8217;s incubator program with a gold boot in the summer of 2025, is now taking big steps in its growth journey.
