Objective PLATIO outdoor solar and kinetic energy harvesting pavement system is developed by our start-up company, InnovatívTérburkolatfejlesztő Kft. We are an enthusiastic team of professionals with engineering and sales/marketing background.With our flagship project PLATIO, an unconventional primarily outdoor energy producing paving system our mission is tooffer a viable solution to harvest and exploit renewable energy in urban environments.Our project gained serious awareness and managed to involve venture capital from angel investors to create the prototypesof our pavement system. We are also a mentored project within Design Terminal, a leading technological and startup mentorprogram in Hungary.PLATIO is an unconventional, a primarily outdoor energy producing paving system and an alternate to usual pavements.Contrary to most of the applied pavements nowadays, PLATIO does not take material (such as stone, gravel, cement andwood) and energy from nature to build human environment, but uses the normally appearing garbage and energy.Consequently PLATIO is a paving platform made of recycled plastic. The planned product integrates different types ofenvironmental friendly technologies such as solar panels to use the solar power and kinetic energy converters to transformthe energy of human steps or any other means of vibration. The units are compact and modularly connect together makingelectronic contact without additional wiring by a powerline communication system which connects automatically during theestablishment.Combining recycled plastic, solar panels and piezoelectric kinetic energy converters we created the PLATIO technology thatcan be used for several scenarios from household (B2C) to B2B solutions, such as smart advertisement providers.
