The Multi-Gigawatt Engine Behind Ad Astra
Investors in Ad Astra Research are not just backing a technology startup; they are gaining exposure to a management and shareholder group with a proven, multi-gigawatt track record in developing, financing, and constructing utility-scale renewable energy assets across Europe.
This powerful engagement stems from the strategic partnership with Swiss Green Energy Holding AG (SGEH) and Solar Energy Holding AG (SEH), which brings their vast, successful experience directly into the Ad Astra ecosystem.
The Scale of the Partner's Expertise
The sheer scale of SGEH/SEH’s experience is a compelling measure of their capability:
Project Location | PV Solar Pipeline (MWp) | Wind Pipeline (MW) | Total Projects (MW) |
Denmark | 2,000 MWp | 0 MW | 2,000 MW |
Balkans (Montenegro, Kosovo, Bosnia, N. Macedonia) | 1,665 MWp | 100 MW | 1,765 MW |
Total Pipeline | 3,665 MWp | 100 MW | 3,765 MW |
Years of Experience | 20+ Years |

This track record includes leading the acquisition and development of major projects, such as offshore wind farms like London Array (630 MW) and Borkum Riffgrund I & II.
The Investor Advantage: Why This Synergy Matters
The engagement of these great partners and leaders directly benefits Ad Astra Research AG’s innovative projects—specifically the Agrivoltaic Structural Designs—in three critical ways:
1. Bankability and Project Execution Assurance
The Leaders: CEO Steen Hindsgavl Hansen brings the field-tested experience of securing land and managing multi-megawatt greenfield projects.
Ad Astra Benefit: His involvement means Ad Astra's unique Agrivoltaic projects move from concept to bankable, investable assets. He knows exactly what permits, grid infrastructure, and project timelines are required for utility-scale deployment.
2. Financial Engineering and Deal Structure
The Specialist: Executive Jim O. Jakobsen, with his exclusive expertise in renewable financing and a deep banking background, is structuring major deals.
Ad Astra Benefit: Jim ensures that Ad Astra’s highly innovative projects are presented accurately to capital markets. He can secure project financing, navigate complex M&A transactions, and optimize the capital stack to maximize investor returns—skills essential when dealing with multi-million-euro project development.
3. Accelerated Market Entry and De-Risking
The Network: The SGEH/SEH group provides immediate access to established offices, networks, and regulatory knowledge across key European markets (Denmark, Spain, Romania, Balkans).
Ad Astra Benefit: Ad Astra’s Agrivoltaic systems and Atmospheric Water Generation units are de-risked by being tied to a shareholder group that already controls massive land banks and has deep relationships with grid operators and local governments. This dramatically shortens the time-to-market.
In short, investors are betting on Ad Astra’s innovation combined with a leadership team that has consistently proven its ability to develop, finance, and successfully execute renewable projects on a gigawatt scale. This is a rare and powerful combination that sets the Ad Astra Group apart.
