Three New Things

Mobile phones have proven invaluable for connecting off-grid communities in developing countries. Often, however, there is no electricity infrastructure, making device charging problematic. BuffaloGrid solves this by providing solar charging hubs to communities, and sharing its profits.

Virgin Media Business has announced the winners of its inaugural Three New Things competition. The contest was launched as part of the company's search to uncover new technologies that have the potential to change the way we live. This year's winning tech includes shoes, solar power and satellites.
