Panzaworx, cc is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a participant in the prestigious Second Annual Viridis Africa Clean Technology business and investment matchmaking conference to be held at the exclusive Killarney Country Club in Lower Houghton, Johannesburg, South Africa on the 16th and 17th October 2012.
PanzaWorx cc is a South African-based technology lean venture start up emerging from about four years’ internal bootstrap R&D activity based on IP developed and currently with International Patents pending. The technology was nominated as a Semi Finalist in the 2011 South African National Cleantech Competition, and was also selected as the most appropriate for rural electrification for a village in Zambia by the Energy and Environmental Partnership for Eastern and Southern Africa.
The technology is ideally suited for kinetic renewable energy recovery in hydro and in air stream applications as a Hydro Turbine and a Ram Air Turbine, and the company has identified three industry sectors with massive market penetration potential into which to launch the technology through licensing of its IP:
- Small hydro electricity generation
- Transport refrigeration, and
- Mine ventilation.
Having completed prototyping and engineering, the company plans to build and demonstrate one commercial unit in each of the three applications through a rapid development, “Skunk Works” environment over a five month period designed to introduce the technology initially in South Africa to potential licensees.
The company plans to earn revenues from the sale of IP and long life royalty revenue streams and is offering investors the opportunity to participate in the long term revenue streams in a Limited Partnership.
