Windar Photonics: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Windar Photonics A/S is a youthful spin-off company from the research environment of Risø DTU. In 2005, a researcher came up with a creative idea to enhance and reduce the cost of wind sensing using LIDAR technology. The company's name, WINDAR, is derived from a combination of WIND and LIDAR. This new LIDAR design was created through a partnership with the Technical University of Denmark and Photonics. After three years, a breakthrough occurred in developing a new system for accurately measuring wind over long distances. In 2008, Windar Photonics officially launched with the support of a strong private equity fund. Since then, a team of innovative employees has joined the company, dedicated to improving the efficiency of wind turbines worldwide.

About FundedIQ's Windar Photonics Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Windar Photonics is left off this page rather than filled in.
