Pavegen manufactures a smart flooring technology which converts footfall into clean, off-grid energy, data, and rewards.
About
Pavegen is a unique clean tech product that delivers off-grid power generated by people’s footsteps. What differentiates Pavegen from other sustainable tech solutions is its emphasis on human interaction. We believe that technology alone cannot make a difference without the participation of people - we call this the 'internet of beings.' Pavegen disrupts the sustainable tech industry by bringing humans into the conversation and personalising the experience through the conversion of their own movements into renewable energy.
The energy generated from our product can be used to power low-power applications instantaneously or stored in a battery for later use. The data output from our product can also provide consumer insights, display energy analytics and create highly customised gamification experiences. We communicate companies’ sustainability stories to their stakeholders through active participation, with the aims of educating and incentivising real behavioural change.
Key Benefits
Companies are looking for new ways to engage with their customers and stakeholders about their sustainability initiatives, and younger consumers prefer to buy from brands that are concerned about ESG. Pavegen is the only clean tech product that delivers off-grid power generated by people, giving them a connection to their environment and others. The benefits of our people-focused technology for brands range from increased brand awareness, increased dwell time at events, and the opportunity to continue the conversation with your consumers through our interactive software applications and data offering. Our solution provides brands with a unique way to engage with their customers and raise brand awareness, whilst centring the conversation around sustainability.
Applications
We target the retail sectors and brands to create people-powered experiences, gamification and other customisable ways to engage with consumers. We also focus on education, transport hubs, smart cities and developers to offer lighting on demand, educate people about sustainability and promote fitness. Our product is applicable in all geographical regions as it can withstand extreme weather conditions between -20°C and +75°C, and has an IP68 rating for dust, sand and water resistance. We also use an anti-slip resin with a slip rating of R12 to ensure that slip risk is not increased when the surface is wet, so the tiles are suitable for outdoor areas in rainy conditions.
