Cosmotaics Featured on IQ Wissenschaft und Forschung by Bayern 2

We’re proud to share that our CEO, Igor Luketina, was recently featured on IQ – Wissenschaft und Forschung, a leading German science podcast by Bayern 2 | ARD Audiothek.

In this episode, hosted by science journalist Hellmuth Nordwig, the conversation dives into Cosmotaics’ mission and our unique approach to solving two urgent global challenges at once: solar panel soiling and water scarcity in arid regions.

The episode explores how our technology transforms traditional solar farms into water-generating ecosystems, by passively harvesting dew and preventing dust build-up — making solar infrastructure more efficient and sustainable. What was once considered a bold idea is increasingly becoming a real-world solution with global potential.

"Immer mehr Gebiete haben mit Wasserknappheit zu kämpfen. Deshalb werden Techniken wichtiger, die das kostbare Nass aus der Luftfeuchtigkeit gewinnen. Viele dieser Methoden sind noch nicht ausgereift und auch nicht effizient. Doch das ändert sich gerade."– Podcast Description

While the episode is available only in German, it marks a major step forward in raising awareness around climate-tech solutions and alternative water sourcing. It’s also a great recognition of Cosmotaics’ work and the journey we're on to create impact at the intersection of renewable energy and water innovation.

We’re honored to be part of this conversation and thankful to the team at ARD/Bayern 2 for spotlighting the importance of decentralized, sustainable water harvesting — especially in the face of rising global water stress.
