Pavegen, the UK-based clean technology company pioneering energy and data generation from footsteps, has been selected to deliver a flagship installation at Cyberport-5, part of the HK$3.7 billion (US$472 million) expansion of Cyberport, Hong Kong’s government-owned Innovation & Technology (I&T) hub.
Installation is scheduled for September 2025, ahead of the site’s full completion later in the year.
The project is being delivered in partnership with Gammon Construction, one of Asia’s most respected contractors, and Siemens, leveraging their Insights Hub (previously known as Mindsphere), to enable live, cloud-based data analytics.
A Smart City Showcase
Cyberport is a digital technology campus and I&T ecosystem developed by the Hong Kong SAR Government, home to over 1,800 tech companies, and a key driver of Hong Kong’s transformation into a global smart city.
Pavegen’s inclusion in the Cyberport-5 expansion underscores its relevance and readiness for large-scale infrastructure integration across Asia.
Project Scope
As part of the project, Pavegen will deliver:
- Two 10.85sqm kinetic energy arrays outside the new 10-storey smart building at Cyberport
- Footstep-powered clean energy, stored in batteries and used to help power outdoor lighting in the upgraded waterfront park
- Real-time data insights, available via Siemens Insights Hub, allowing Cyberport and Pavegen to monitor energy output, and optimise system performance
The installation enables every pedestrian to become an energy contributor, creating a direct, emotional connection between human movement and smart infrastructure.
A Strategic Milestone
“This isn’t just a showcase - it’s a signal,” said Laurence Kemball-Cook, CEO and Founder of Pavegen.
“Working with Cyberport, Gammon, and Siemens puts us at the heart of one of Asia’s most forward-thinking smart city projects. This installation demonstrates how clean energy, digital insight, and public participation can converge shaping spaces that are as interactive as they are intelligent.”
Why It Matters
This installation represents a global proof point for Pavegen’s growth strategy in Asia and reinforces its unique positioning at the intersection of:
- Smart city infrastructure
- Interactive sustainability and ESG impact
- Decentralised clean energy
- Data-rich engagement platforms
- Cross-sector innovation with trusted global partners
As governments and developers seek to make cities smarter, greener, and more people-centric, Pavegen’s technology offers a scalable, tangible, and participatory solution.
