GITEX EUROPE Catalyst to a Multimillion-Dollar Contract

From Berlin to Global Commercial Momentum

Frank Kjerstein, CEO of Reblade, never imagined that a humble participation at EIC Pavilion during GITEX EUROPE 2025, would boost his company’s chances to achieve a multimillion-dollar deal.

The Danish company – still finalizing its fully integrated technology - needed market visibility, industry validation, and access to decision-makers who could support its drone-based, automated wind turbine blade repairs model to commercial-scale agreements.

During the launch edition of GITEX EUROPE, in 2025, Reblade’s team had the opportunity to showcase its cutting-edge technology resulting in a measurable impact for the company.

“After we demoed Reblade's drone-based, automated wind turbine blade repairs at GITEX EUROPE, we managed to negotiate an agreement with a US partner. This achievement has the potential to land us yet another multimillion-dollar contract.”

To Frank Kjenstein, “such progress is crucial to an early-stage startup backed by venture capital, of course. We are very excited about the prospects of adding our first US-based customer agreement for wind turbine blade maintenance, and to validate our business model, pricing and product-market-fit on a new market”.

The Turning Point – GITEX EUROPE

At GITEX EUROPE, Reblade presented its autonomous blade repair drone, showcasing its ability to reduce turbine blade repair time from 4 days to just 4 hours—and completely eliminate the need to send rope-access technicians up-tower.

Exposure to an international audience, connections with other deep-tech and cleantech startups and the peer-to-peer alignment on progress, challenges and creative solution building were among the most valuable takeaways from Reblade’s participation at GITEX EUROPE.

The event placed Reblade in front of global industry leaders, investors, and corporate innovators— generating visibility that converts.

"I recommend participating at GITEX" – states Frank – “GITEX brings in that access to a broad set of the market so, the broader the appeal of your product, the more value you will extract from GITEX”.

Now, Reblade is ready to demonstrate its technology to the world and expand its commercial footprint.
