Inspired by an airline business class seat, GoSleep is a chair that converts into a sleep pod with a flat bed. It features a sliding shade that cocoons you from light and crowds so you can relax and sleep at the airport. It include storage for luggage and other valuables, and allows you to charge your electronic devices as well as access the internet. www.gosleep.aero

Integrated with flexible and highly efficient thin-film solar cells and modules, the full solar power vehicles with zero emissions use solar energy as their main source of driving force through a series of precise control and managing systems, including a photoelectric conversion system, an energy storage system and an intelligent control system. For now there are a few corporate governance, as well as technical, issues to resolve. http://www.hanergy.com/en/content/details_37_3602.html

1414 Degrees has developed storage technology using the latent energy characteristics of molten silicon which is scalable from a few megawatt hours to many hundreds of megawatt hours, is site agnostic, has no operational fuel costs, is environmentally benign during it's 25 year operating life cycle and has no environmental impact on decommissioning. The prototype plant has been running since September 2016 at the Tonsley Park Innovation Precinct in South Australia and the first commercial model will be installed in 2017. Power networks the world over can only fully rely on renewables generation when there is reliable, scalable and readily accessible energy storage available. http://1414degrees.com.au/
