pavegen's bold stride towards a sustainable future: a recap of our successful trip to the world architecture festival, singapore
29 November - 1st December, Singapore
In our relentless pursuit of sustainability and urban innovation, Pavegen proudly partnered with the World Architecture Festival held at the iconic Marina Bay Sands in Singapore from November 29 to December 01. Our presence was marked by an interactive exhibition stand, a platform where the world's leading architects converged to shape a more sustainable future.
Connecting with Architectural Visionaries
Gabrielle and Lucinda from our team had the honor of meeting some of the industry's brightest minds, architects whose focus aligns seamlessly with ours – sustainability and urban innovation. This partnership marked a pivotal moment for Pavegen, as we showcased our commitment to revolutionizing public spaces, malls, stadiums, transport hubs, and office buildings with our groundbreaking technology.
Our Mission: From Small Steps to Significant Strides
Our mission is clear: to unlock the potential of every footstep towards a net-zero future. The festival provided a unique platform to connect with senior architects and designers globally, highlighting our role in sustainable development and award-winning design. Beyond the glitz of presentations and awards, we engaged in meaningful conversations on how Pavegen contributes to low-carbon buildings and public spaces.
Expanding Horizons in Asia
We are thrilled to announce our ambitious plans to expand and grow our business in Asia. Our journey in Singapore was not just about showcasing our innovation but also about connecting with like-minded architects and industry leaders who share our vision for a sustainable tomorrow.
Pavegen X1: Lighting the Path Towards Sustainability
At the heart of our exhibition was the Pavegen X1, a tangible embodiment of our commitment. This innovative solution showcased a basic application of LED lighting and our generator and tile, offering a glimpse into the transformative power of kinetic energy.
Architectural Dialogues for a Low Carbon Future
Throughout the festival, we engaged in conversations with architects about kinetic energy applications, including interactive LED lighting, mobile phone charging, green wall irrigation, and interactive experiences. These applications, we believe, are the bold steps architects can take for a low carbon built environment and a sustainable future.
A Glimpse into the Festival
The World Architecture Festival was a dynamic confluence of over 70 keynote talks from leading architects and 17 'crit' rooms where shortlisted architects pitched their nominated projects to a panel of judges. Pavegen, positioned at stand B33 in the main festival hall, invited attendees to witness the future of sustainable architecture.
As we reflect on our time in Singapore, we are invigorated by the possibilities that lie ahead. Pavegen's successful crowd cube fundraise, where we achieved an impressive £1.86 million, sets the stage for the next chapter in our journey. With steadfast determination, we stride into the future, paving the way for a sustainable world, one footstep at a time.
