SYMPHONY

aims to develop a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly realization of energy harvesting.

What We Do

The SYMPHONY project is addressing the 21st century challenges concerning the spread of electronic systems in remote locations requiring a change in power generation. Current IoT scenarios expect around 75 billion connected devices by 2025, and the powering of these devices by batteries will result in a considerable amount of potentially hazardous waste. The project consortium aims to develop cost effective and scalable methods to print energy harvesting materials on flexible films and to combine them with energy efficient electronics and sensor technologies.

SYMPHONY in a nutshell

SYMPHONY makes use of dislocated and disordered energy sources with the development of an innovative energy autonomous sensor system.
