Discussing the Challenges of Air Pollution...

Delighted to entertain a delegation of Chinese officials today to discuss the challenges of Air Pollution and what we are doing here in Wales to bring low cost accurate sensor data to the masses. It was incredible to hear exactly the same stories, the trip to school, the car idling issue, the complication of understanding the data, just on a much larger scale. I’ve always been of the opinion that if you can make something work in Wales you can make it work anywhere, we are like a wonderful biodome of innovation, and our Chinese friends were in agreement. We have more announcements coming in the next few weeks as we are starting to gain significant ground in this sector. Exciting

We are learning more and more every day and moving from just measuring to awareness and understanding. The Action will be the most difficult yet crucial stage. We’ve partenered up with Gaia Group UK to deliver a project that fits firmly into the action phase in the construction sector. The reductions will be both pollution and costs 😉 More news to follow very

Great quote from Jonathan Edwards MP on our Think Air launch. Jonathan Edwards MP said, “I was delighted to be invited to attend Ysgol y Bedol for the launch of the ‘Think Air’ initiative in raising awareness of air quality through user-friendly technology. “I was grateful to meet with Jo Polson, the co-founder of Vindico and a local constituent, who has developed this idea with his colleague Ryan Griffiths and Professor Paul Lewis of Swansea University who is also an adviser to the Welsh Government on Air Quality. “I witnessed the fantastic learning opportunities for the children who were present, to better understand the science and importance of clean air, and, interact with innovative digital technology “It appears this initiative has incredible potential for both businesses and the wider public.” Well said 🙂 If you’d like to know more get in touch, it’s an exciting area and we think we are doing great
