CleanOff-Grid Wind Energy from the Sky
Harnessing winds at 400 meters — delivering clean power where no grid can reach.
Who we are
Kitenergy is an innovative SME headquartered in Turinspecializing in the development of advanced technological solutions for renewable energy production. As a pioneer in high-altitude wind energy generationKitenergy focuses on designing innovative generators that operate at high altitudeswhere optimal atmospheric conditions allow for greater efficiency compared to traditional ground-based wind turbines.
We’re a group of creative thinkers who have built a business to change the world
Vision & Mission
We envision a world where cleanreliable energy reaches every communityfrom remote villages to disaster zonespowered by the untapped potential of renewable energy.
We build airborne wind generators and portable energy systems that deliver cleanreliable power anywhere energy is neededon or off the grid.

How it works
A kitea cableand a ground station. That's it.
A smart kite flies high where winds blow strongestpulling a cable that spins a generator on the ground. When the cable is fully extendedthe kite glides back down using almost no energy — and the cycle starts again. Simplepowerfulendless.
Launch
The kite deploys automatically from a compact ground stationready to harness the wind.
Capture
Flying crosswind patterns at up to 400 m altitudewhere winds are 2‑3× stronger than at turbine height.
Generate
Wind force on the tether drives the ground-based generatorproducing clean energy.
Recover
The kite recovers backretracting the cable to restart the cycle automatically.
Imagine reliable electricity for your community — without dieselwithout towerswithout massive infrastructure. K100 taps into powerful high-altitude winds to deliver clean energy where traditional solutions can't reachat a fraction of the cost.
A lightweight kite flies at up to 400 meters — well above conventional turbines — where winds blow stronger and steadier. No towers to buildno blades to maintain. Just consistentclean power from the sky.
When disaster strikes or remote sites need power fastSun in a Box delivers. Designed alongside the United Nationsthis all-in-one solar station deploys in hours — powering field hospitalscommunication hubsand entire base camps without a single drop of fuel.

Expo 2025 Osaka
Kitenergy showcased Sun in a Box at Expo 2025 Osaka during the Marche Region Week (1–7 June 2025). At the Italian Paviliondelegates from roughly 20 countries attended our workshop and bilateral meetings — leading to follow-up discussions with Japanese prefectures on emergency-management certification and exploratory talks with major Japanese companies.
In the following dayspresentations continued with government agencies and private-sector partners across Japan and Southeast Asia. Expo 2025 marked a significant step in Kitenergy's international expansionopening new channels for our rapid-deploy energy technology.
