SYMPHONY

In recent years, with the swift transfer of everyday interests to the internet, as well as the rising trend of smart technologies, the use of electronics in daily life has increased exponentially. Additionally, with current IoT scenarios expecting around 75 billion connected devices by 2025, their use is bound to keep increasing. Unfortunately, this could be dangerous for the environment, especially in remote areas with little access to power generation. Energy harvesting is a technology that could assist with this problem, but it’s not efficient enough as of yet. The EU-funded SYMPHONY project aims to tackle this problem by developing new cost-efficient materials along with a fabrication process that will allow the production of cost-efficient multimodal energy harvesting solutions.
