Alexander Hain, lead for venture building and investment activities for Germany-based utility Vattenfall’s wind (renewables) sector, has moved to local peer EWE to be senior investment manager and executive director.
Hain had joined Vattenfall in May 2019 from Wincubator, Wilo’s innovation subsidiary.
At Vattenfall, his venture building initiatives from its green:field innovation platform had included spin-offs of Proteqnic at the end of last year and Solytic in 2018.
Vattenfall remains as a minority shareholder, strategic partner and customer. Proteqnic, an automated health monitoring and decision support for wind power operators, had its origin as one of the ideas in the Vattenfall Innovation Contest, Vattenfall´s internal idea competition for employees.
