Story

Geothermal Anywhere is the very initial point, why Igor, Dusan, Ivan and Tomas founded GA Drilling in 2008. We aim to make the idea of geothermal energy anywhere and for anyone in the world to happen.

After years of research & development of contactless plasma drilling and milling, as well as substantial infrastructure investments, we reached an advanced level of expertise and high self-sufficiency in manufacturing and testing.

We build on the know-how of the world’s top experts and major drilling companies. We cooperate with internationally experienced senior experts in both drilling and geothermal industries. Our decisions are based on an exceptional knowledge of climate change policies and green energy thanks to the involvement of our advisors that share our vision.

We’ve found support in public grant competitions, as well as in the corporate partnerships and private investments

20+ grants won for new technologies in drilling, well construction and intervention
20+ unique technology inventions and technical solutions and 5 utility models
100+ employees in 4 branches in Slovakia, UK, US, UAE
The expert internal team of 15+ doctoral level and 55+ master level engineers
A synergy of geothermal, drilling and cleantech expertise in the team and advisory board
