Our vision
From power stations to generators, we believe in a world where energy flows where it's needed. Always in motion. Always accessible. We believe in the power of hydrogen. Moving. Rising. Visionary. The power that will drive us forward, together, and in the right direction.
Our story

Searching for solutions

It all began in 2010, at the heart of the R&D department of Airbus Defence and Space where Jean-Marie Bourgeais was in charge of technical innovations regarding energetic infrastructures. In need of an autonomous energy station to supply secure radio communication networks, he launched an extensive market study. The conclusion was clear: at the time, no reliable and reasonably priced solution existed to meet Airbus’ needs. As a result, Jean-Marie Bourgeais was asked to lead a project dedicated to the development of a sustainable, reliable, and affordable power station. In 2013, as EADS began restructuring, a start-up called PowiDian was created. What followed is our story.
