Business idea in short

Construction of an energy harvesting system to supports the IoT sensor society

Social issue to tackle | Business concept

I would like to solve the social issue of improving the performance of social activities through unattended monitoring of the status of goods and things using sensors, and the issue of securing a sensor-driven power supply in order to disseminate the sensors needed for this purpose.

Motivation

For the sake of affluence, we sacrifice the global environment for electricity. On the other hand, although there are various energies around us, they are not used and thrown away. I would like to make effective use of this energy to create a society that is compatible with the global environment and prosperity.
