Four years ago, Blue World Technologies was founded to accelerate the green transition by enabling the use of green fuel through high efficiency.Â
We have taken decisive steps towards this goal over the past year. Our team has grown strongly and can rely on new experienced colleagues, especially in research and development, sales as well as in production. Renowned investors support our vision and enable us to complete series production with the funds before the end of 2022. And once we have achieved this, we will supply even more customers with our methanol fuel cell and steadily expand the areas of application in the following years. We still have a long journey ahead of us!
