Nanopower is a GreenTech organization, which technology is intended to mitigate the effects of human impact on the environment. In the scheme -Enabling Technologies- we have the ideal funding partner, the Norwegian government.  **- Norway will go through a green shift and major restructuring. To succeed, we need research and innovation in business. The awards testify that there are many good applicants. I am impressed that there are so many Norwegian companies that think new ideas and develop smart solutions. Says Minister of Trade and Industry Jan Christian Vestre. [The Green Shift - Innovation Projects](https://www.forskningsradet.no/nyheter/2022/29-prosjekter-for-styrket-norsk-konkurransekraft/)** ![](https://www.nanopower.global/images/uploads/fluidimage/_fluidimage/Index-Image-750x600.jpg) ## Technology enabling limitless IoT deployment  This project will lead to technology that enables systems to be energized solely by small batteries or ambient power harvesting. Resulting in a low power IC chip that will have a significant impact on the world of IoT. **- Today's IoT solutions have a major challenge that prevents mass deployment. The wireless battery-powered sensors run out of power too fast. It´s manageable with a few devices, but not when thousands are installed. By multiplying battery life and enabling power harvesting, the solutions become highly scalable, explains Nanopower CEO [Tore Irgens Kuhnle](https://www.linkedin.com/in/toreirgenskuhnle/).** **- With this new technology the end customer will have, in addition to scalability, low operating costs and reduced environmental impact. We look forward to the collaboration with Lars-Cyril Blystad and USN, says COO [André Grytbakk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andr%C3%A9-grytbakk-30a270115/). ** ## Project partners   ### [Nanopower](https://nanopower.global/) A semiconductor company using its proprietary nPZero technology to achieve a world leading advanced power management hub for any battery powered device.
