Pavegen is a technology that helps to unlock the potential of every footstep! Laying underfoot, our technology harnesses the power of peoples footsteps, creating not only a small amount of energy - but also imaginative, interactive experiences, which helps to educate, engage and enable meaningful action. We call this Citizen IMPACT, powered by Pavegen. Were helping leading brands and organisations all over the world to engage with their important stakeholders around sustainability and CSR in fun and interactive ways. By allowing people to participate in energy generation via an interactive brand or citizen engagement experience, we create memorable touch-points that place people at the heart of your Net Zero and ESG intent. PAVEGEN ENERGY CAPABILITY: Every footstep generates 3-5 joules of energy, so for that reason Pavegen is not a stand-alone renewable energy solution. Rather than focusing on the output of energy, we focus on the input of energy – PEOPLE - and the valuable connection you can achieve with your target audience. We call this a Return-on-Footstep (RoF)! Examples include: Kinetic Citizen Engagement in Cities, Public Spaces and Buildings • Pavegen linked to seating and mobile phone charging • Pavegen linked to LED lighting • Pavegen powering the irrigation system of an interactive green wall installation Kinetic Brand Experiences at Live Events, Expos and Public Spaces • Pavegen linked to gamified experiences • Pavegen used to activate an AV screen that is used to educate and inform users about anything you want • Pavegen linked to mobile app technology trading footsteps in return for sustainability and social action rewards With over 250 installations in 38 countries, Pavegen is growing fast.

At Gozney were changing the way the world cooks outdoors. Our range of portable, built-in and freestanding outdoor ovens are simple to use with unrivalled performance and unbeatable versatility, used in homes and restaurants all over the world. We believe live-fire cooking is best, for taste and experience. The food cooks differently, tastes better, and it’s a deeply satisfying experience you can’t get from any other form of cooking. That’s why since 2010 we’ve been on a mission to make live-fire cooking simple for everyone.
