US-German Inventors Reach Finals for European Inventor Award 2026 with Innovative Hydropower System
Emily Morris and Thorsten Stoesser's modular hydropower system enhances electricity generation from existing water infrastructures. Their innovation is a finalist in the 'Non-EPO Countries' category of the European Inventor Award 2026, with winners announced on July 2, 2026, in Berlin.

Emily Morris and Thorsten Stoesser's modular hydropower system enables electricity generation from existing water infrastructure, allowing renewable power production in previously untapped locations. Their technology, featuring a Hydro-Transition Unit, optimizes water flow through turbines to enhance energy capture in shallow waterways.
Morris founded Emrgy in 2014 to commercialize the concept, leading to partnerships with various water districts across the U.S. The finalists will compete for the European Inventor Award 2026, with winners revealed on July 2, 2026. This innovation could significantly boost hydropower efficiency and expand renewable energy sources.
