ENNOMOTIVE BRINGS COMPANIES TOGETHER TO FIGHT COVID-19

Ennomotive has brought together a group of entities – Vithas and its Foundation (standardisation), McFly Technologies (industrialisation), and Lyntia (pre-seed funding) – to create AirVita: a low-cost ventilator that can play an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many other institutions have lent the team a helping hand (including Capital Energy, the Francisco de Vitoria University, and the Catholic University of Valencia). The new machine will be made in Toledo and used to stock hospitals in Spain. Given its reduced price, compact design and ease of maintenance, it will also be available to countries in an emergency situation which need it. www.ennomotive.com
