Anders and Andreas celebrate the VINNOVA grant

Sparv Embedded is proud to announce we have been awarded a 400.000 SEK development grant from Sweden’s innovation agency VINNOVA. Our project was among the few selected from an unusually large amount of applications. Over 700 applications were submitted from small and medium-size Swedish companies.

Our project regards a novel way of using a UAV for weather measurements, where we also applied for a patent. If successful, this will form a new part of the expanding Windsond radiosonde system, to give users more flexibility when performing meteorological soundings of the lower atmosphere.

Sparv Embedded is thrilled to welcome Andreas Bergner as a full-time colleague. Andreas has supported the development of Windsond from the very first steps back in 2012.
Andreas brings valuable experience from mechanical engineering, project management and technical marketing. He comes from a position of flight test manager at CybAero in Linköping.

Andreas will focus on mechanical development and customer relations for Windsond. He can be reached at andreas@sparvembedded.com.
