Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

The Out of Home advertising market of $32b is becoming more important with increase of commuting, and is going through a digitation transformation.

The major challenge of digital Outdoor advertising is the Environmental foot print it creates. 1 Very high electricity consumption, need for dedicated infrastructure, and Light pollution mostly when it comes to residential and urban areas. This problem is creating negative impact on the Environment, and is holding back the digitation of OutDoor content.

KA offers Reflective, Zero Energy, Pigment based dynamic signs. The technology eliminates all negative impact on environment, so it will reduce Carbon emission, light pollution, heat and noise that are generated by LED signs. At the same time can be used for socially beneficial functions like building decoration, information and alerts, traffic notices. The image is “natural” like a printed image and thus comfortable to the human eye and does not create distractions like Video or emitting LED displays.

KA plans to create an environment friendly, dynamic and esthetic Out Door signage option. This will boost advertising options, while keep our environment clean.
It has both a very large economic potential, but also a strong positive impact on the environment we live in.

Avances que van más allá del estado de la técnica e impacto potencial esperado (incluida la repercusión socioeconómica y las implicaciones sociales más amplias del proyecto hasta la fecha)

Currently, 98% of total outdoor billboards are printed and renewed every 10 days, producing waste and resulting in high OPEX (up to €100,000/billboard annually). KA billboards are a game changer in the market by providing high image quality, unlimited and waste-free ads turnover at extremely low OPEX – around €1,000/billboard annually. Thus, contributing to the implementation of eco-friendly and sustainable outdoor advertising solutions.
