At the House of Pioneers in Davos, January 20 we saw a pioneering effort of significance. A Lucerne-based firm, Aier introduced wireless power. Point-to-point, capable of transforming wireless energy transmission, delivering power efficiently across long distances without the need for physical cables.
What Nikola Tesla had envisioned, Aier founder and CEO Himesh Patel, along with a top NATO scientist, is now about to bring to market a wireless power with broad and positive ramifications. Their vision is to replace cumbersome wiring with scalable wireless charging solutions, making energy access seamless for industries such as automotive, logistics, hospitality, and smart infrastructure.
Aier's technology uses advanced photonics to wirelessly transfer energy across distances ranging from 200 to 500 meters. This is achieved with high efficiency (95%), leveraging the same spectrum as modern mobile communication technologies to ensure safety and reliability.
Whether in urban infrastructure or remote settings, it can consistently power multiple devices within its range. The system enables non-directional wireless energy transfer, allowing it to serve various devices across large areas without precise alignment.
Broad Applications, Significant Impact
This technology will touch virtually every field where energy is involved. In real estate and construction, residences could be built without wiring. Within any structure, the need for cables would be eliminated—an entire household could be powered wirelessly from a single antenna receiving energy from solar panels on its roof.
In marine applications, boats would not need to plug in at port; rather, they would simply need to get close to shore. With wind and solar, they might not even need shore power at all.
Electric vehicles could drive along roads equipped with antennas, eliminating the need to stop for a recharge. Mobile phones would not need chargers.
Most importantly, this technology could relieve pressure on the strained electrical grid. The vast economic and environmental costs of building new transmission lines could be avoided.
The company had intended to showcase the first antenna in Davos during the World Economic Forum, but the strict security apparatus around the WEF prevented it. Now, the unveiling is planned for Cambridge University, where it will demonstrate this new technology in March.
Origins: A Journey of Nearly 10 Years
The journey, combining advanced technologies in solar, wireless energy transfer, and tokenization has involved multiple partners worldwide to present a promising future for sustainable energy solutions.
This could relieve pressure on the electrical grid. The vast economic and environmental costs of building new transmission lines could be avoided.
Company founder Himesh Patel’s journey began in 2016. While running his private equity advisory firm, he was introduced to the idea by a prominent scientist seeking advice. As he advised, he became intrigued by the possibilities and decided to join forces. An experienced businessman, Patel was comfortable working at the cutting edge of innovation. Coming from a family business in hotel construction, he had already seen the potential of the internet and was instrumental in bringing the first internet connectivity to the hotel industry.
A chance meeting with a NATO scientist in 2022 led to a collaboration that dramatically accelerated the potential. through an advanced algorithm that offered great advances.
What Patel and his team have created is a full solution—not just an antenna but also innovations to power it using advanced solar technology and cutting-edge chips, making it highly affordable.
They have also introduced the use of tokens, creating a financing mechanism and that allows average consumers to own a stake in the power projects that will be electrifying their communities. To makes this possible they created a related company, Netzium, to facilitate adoption and expansion and the transition of Tokens being backed by Real World Assets.
The company is now on the brink of transforming energy distribution as we know it.
