Sensor IT

Established in 2013, the Energy Catalyst programme supports UK-based businesses to develop innovative, market-focused energy technologies. The programme enabled them to commercialise sustainable energy solutions faster than they normally would. Energy sustainability is based on pillars of the energy trilemma – low cost, low carbon and secure supply. Sensor IT was selected to get involved in the mission, with 16 other participants, after a UK-wide competitive process run by the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF). This GCRF-led too project into account the value proposition the company could offer to the mission, which took place from July 14th-July 18th of 2019, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The mission involved several high-level presentations with government officials, such as the Ethiopian Minister for Water, Irrigation and Energy (MOWIE) and the Ethiopian Energy Authority (EEA), amongst others. The mission was designed to be a preparation for the Innovate UK Energy Catalyst Round 7, assisting companies to establish a commercial relationship in emerging economies to enable them to participate in the funding competition.

The China-Britain Business Council (CBBC) is supporting upcoming technology/innovation entrepreneurship through a competition, which took place during London Tech Week on Wednesday June 12th 2019, at the Royal Albert Dock. Sensor IT was shortlisted to pitch our Bicycle Safety Device with a chance to gain a place in the final, due to take place in China later in the year. Regardless of the outcome, for us at Sensor IT it means gaining recognition to our work and dedication, and hopefully there will be more to come.

Sensor IT was present in the 2019 edition of the summit, and was available to showcase and add information on our products as required.
