Catch the Wind was selected based on the company’s dedication to greener business. A pioneer in the wind energy industry, Catch the Wind is delivering the world’s first and only wind turbine-mounted solution that can accurately predict wind speed and direction so turbines can optimally align with the wind, producing greater wind energy efficiency. The company’s ground-breaking invention, the Vindicator® LWS system, has the potential to dramatically enhance the efficiency of wind power generation around the world.
