Monumo is a deeptech engineering company focused on creating the worlds best electric motors. Monumo was born from a desire to move the world to a sustainable future. Electric motors currently consume half of the world’s electricity; our mission is to improve the efficiency of these motors in a way that has never been possible before and in doing so help all of us use precious resources in a more sustainable way. We have brought together engineers, data scientists, physicists, deep-tech experts and entrepreneurs who believe in the journey of electrification, whilst at the same time developing more sustainable technologies to help achieve it. Our Values: Curious Monumo’s culture is both open-minded and inquisitive, striving to remove bias from every aspect of our business, our thinking and our technology.
