## About

Based in Maia, Portugal, and founded in 2015 by CEO Pedro Pinto, CCO Carlos Oliveira, Vasco Serpa, and Hugo Rocha, STME Lda, d.b.a. Fibersail specializes in shaping wind turbine blades by using its proprietary shape sensing technology to enable operators and manufacturers to design and operate wind turbines. In March 2022, STME Lda raised EUR 5 million in seed funding led by FORWARD.one Management BV, with participation from Caixa Capital – Sociedade de Capital de Risco, EIT InnoEnergy and Rockstart Enterprises B.V.

The company offers a wide range of solutions, including blade load control, analyzing blade deflections to detect the effective performance mode, monitoring rotor loads for continuous condition assessment, early detection of failure modes, predictive-based algorithms for a safe and cost-effective maintenance plan, and optimize turbine lifetime. Fibersail offers these solutions by using its proprietary shape sensing technology. As of June 2022, the company is working on 5 ongoing demo projects, conducted 3,552 hours of test and operation, installed about 796 sensors, and more.

Fibersail plans to use its proceeds from March 2022 funding to scale its customer pipeline as well as a team by partnering with turbine operators and manufacturers.
