General information
- Short Summary
- The Italian startup has developed a prototype of an innovative device for monitoring air quality designed for bicycles, with the possibility of application to the automotive sector. The sensors communicate with an App software to optimize urban routes and to contribute to the prevention of fires. The sme is looking for partners with expertise in technological development to transform the prototype into a sustainable mass product compliant with global environmental regulations.
- Full Description
- The Italian startup aims to develop and commercialize an innovative device for monitoring air quality, currently designed for installation on bicycles. As awareness about air pollution and need for sustainable solutions increase, the device will be an effective response to these challenges. The prototype has been designed to collect environmental data in real time, monitoring crucial parameters such as pollutant levels, temperature and humidity. This tool not only provides useful information to cyclists to choose healthier routes, but also has potential applications in the automotive sector. In this perspective, monitoring air quality in urban areas is essential to ensure safer and more livable environments. By integrating this device with already developed App software, users can view real-time data and receive recommendations for alternative and less polluted routes. This functionality can increase the adoption of green transport modes such as cycling, contributing to a cleaner environment. Furthermore, the device has the potential to provide early warning of risk situations, such as the possible outbreak of fires near public areas or roads, using artificial intelligence to analyze the data collected and generate timely warnings. This not only improves public safety, but also promotes a more conscious use of the territory. The company is looking for strategic partners who can support them in the full development of the prototype. Ideally, partners should have experience in the production of electronic devices as well as expertise in the environmental sector. In short, the project is not limited to developing an innovative device for monitoring air quality, but it aspires to create an ecosystem that involves cyclists, motorists and citizens in general in the fight against pollution.
