LoLiPoP-IoT held succsessfully meetings in Bologna

On January 12-14 2026 many members of the EU Chips JU project LoLiPoP IoT met for meetings and workshops at the Starhotels Excelsior in Bologna. The consortium meeting has been organized by partner Taua.

Universities, research centers, and companies from 10 European countries gathered with a shared goal: producing results together.

For two years now, a collaboration has been growing and becoming increasingly close over time, focused on the research and implementation of energy harvesting solutions within both consumer and non-consumer technologies.

These are truly stimulating activities, where all partners push themselves to imagine the future from a technological perspective and work to ensure that energy consumption and usage are as clean and efficient as possible.

About LoLiPoP-IoT:
In LoLiPoP-IoT innovative Long Life Power Platforms are being developed to enable retrofitting of wireless sensor network (WSN) modules in IoT applications. It comprises energy harvesting (light, heat, vibrations, RF) and micro-power management platforms as well as application optimised WSN modules. The partners work on minimizing power consumption and maximising use of the ambient energies to assure long battery life of the WSN modules, in many cases full power autonomy. The APPLICATION (industry 4.0, smart mobility and energy efficient buildings) Use Cases drive the development of algorithms to perform FUNCTIONALITIES like asset tracking, condition monitoring (for predictive maintenance) and energy/comfort optimization in buildings.

LoLiPoP-IoT creates an ecosystem of 40 developers, integrators and users from 10 European countries to develop these platforms thinking about power/battery life, ease of installation and maintenance. The project is driven by 10 laboratory- and field-based use cases to initially demonstrate their technical viability and then potential impact.
