Minesto, leading developer of ocean energy is selected by renowned bearing manufacturer SKF to be part of a large-scale international marketing brand campaign. The campaign "The Faroe Islands Space Program - a space program that never leaves earth" highlights Minesto's innovative and lightweight yet powerful tidal energy kites; and the opportunity to harness "moon energy", making the most of the Earth's resources in a sustainable approach.
The global brand campaign by SKF showcases Minesto's unique competitive technology, ready for commercial roll-out. The unique tidal energy technology has the potential to unlock a new global renewable resource presently untapped by mankind.

Introduction to the campaign "The Faroe Islands Space Program - a space program that never leaves earth":
Increased demand for energy has led to a new space race where major nations are said to compete to control the Moon's resources. But in fact, we already have endless moon energy on Earth. Tidal energy, driven by the Moon's gravitational pull on our oceans, offers a renewable and predictable power source. Industry leader SKF and ocean energy developer Minesto, together with the Faroese energy company Sev, are launching the Faroe Island Space Program to harness this untapped potential and highlight the urgency of utilizing Earth's existing resources in a smart and sustainable way.
