Did you know that one single container ship emits more CO2 than 65,000 cars?
At CargoKite we are keen on changing this by developing the sailing ship of the 21st century. We are a diverse team of visionaries, engineers, and environmental advocates united by a common goal: to develop cutting-edge solutions that propel the shipping industry into a more sustainable era.

Are you a visionary with a passion for combating climate change? Do you have a knack for turning groundbreaking ideas into tangible, sustainable hardware solutions? If so, we invite you to join our trailblazing team at CargoKite and help shape the future of sustainable shipping.

We are currently working at full speed on our prototypes and are looking for motivated students who would like to support us on our mission.
