Cleantechxdesign
Rune Kirt and Mads Thomsen started working together at Aarhus School of Architecture in 2008. Collaborating on their thesis project, the KNARR Cargo Airship, they graduated with honours, and were both hired into Vestas Wind Systems A/S. Following further development of the concept internally in Vestas, they worked at different R&D sections on developing practical solutions as well as development of future blue sky concepts.
KIRT x THOMSEN was established in early 2011, and has grown, matured and evolved ever since. At this point we have an established and recognised presence within the wind industry and successfully co-developed on projects in the markets of wave energy, electric vehicles, smart grid and in collaboration public research institutions.
