EnerHarv 2020 will build upon the inaugural event held in 2018 at the Tyndall National Institute in Cork, Ireland. The mission remains the same - to create a focal point for a community of experts and users of energy harvesting & related technologies to share knowledge, best practices, roadmaps, experiences and to create opportunities for collaboration primarily in the wireless IoT edge device sector.

"EnerHarv was set up as a key biennial event to help solve the 'trillion sensor challenge' of 2025, recognizing that most of the world's IoT devices will require a portable power source such as a battery needing to outlive the device that it powers," commented Brian Zahnstecher, PSMA Energy Harvesting Committee and EnerHarv Co-Chair.

The slate of keynote speakers has already been announced and the overall program is well in development with a strong organizing committee in place. Baoxing Chen, ADI Fellow at Analog Devices will present "Powering the IoT, an Energy Harvesting Perspective." Veena Misra, Distinguished Professor at NC State University will discuss "Self-Powered Wearable Sensors for Health and Environmental Monitoring." Sally Safwat Amin, Research Scientist at Intel's Technology, Systems Architecture & Client Group will discuss "Towards Miniaturized Energy Harvesting Platform for Powering Net-Zero Energy Systems."

Attendees will learn of the many constituents of existing and emerging 'power IoT' solutions and how to apply these in a system-optimized way creating high impact solutions for a broader range of applications. Through technical presentations, networking, panel sessions, viewing real life demos and participating in discussions, attendees will gain a step function increase in their knowledge and ability to develop/gain access to energy harvesting powered solutions.

EnerHarv 2020 is also being supported by the China Power Supply Society (CPSS), the European EnABLES Project and the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS).
