Daidalos Capital

Daidalos Capital GmbH is a specialised venture capital firm founded in 2010 and based at Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 36 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, which invests exclusively in the airborne wind energy (AWE) sector aEUR" a category of renewable-energy technology in which tethered flying devices or wind drones generate electricity from high-altitude winds. The firm pursues a thesis that airborne wind energy can deliver meaningfully lower-cost renewable electricity than conventional wind turbines, particularly in offshore and base-load applications, and its managing partner Udo Zillmann serves as head of the European Airborne Wind Energy industry network HWN500. Disclosed portfolio investments include Ampyx Power, which entered a multi-million-Euro cooperation with German utility E.ON. Daidalos Capital functions as a niche, sector-dedicated institutional investor in the global airborne wind energy industry.
