Energy harvesting technologies have been a hot topic over the last decade due to their potential to replace batteries as power supplies in locations where mains or wired electricity supplies are not practicable delivering truly fit and forget solutions. However such technologies have presented huge challenges in translating laboratory prototypes into real-world applications. Typical issues faced are insufficient power output, narrow operating frequency range, low system reliability, efficiency and adaptability to real-world operating conditions. In particular, the power generated from existing systems is insufficient to support the data rich measurement and transmission demanded by wireless sensor systems for reliable critical asset monitoring
The initial brief of the executive will be to:
Develop a detailed business plan, considering the best route-to market and marketing strategy. Work with the existing team to map out the key activities and resources needed to launch and finance the business and raise funds to support these activities. This may transition into an executive role within the company possibly as CCO.
The team have all the technical skills necessary to achieve the product development milestones but lack the necessary commercial experience.
