BeFC is proud to announce that its paper energy source, based around a core biofuel technology made out of paper, was chosen for the Supernova Challenge 2021 (North Star Dubai GITEX competition).
The BeFC technology, which generates electricity via a paper-based biofuel cell using enzymes, sugar and oxygen was selected as an exhibitor for this, the sixth edition of the event in October 2021 . BeFC’s technology which uses enzymes to convert glucose and oxygen into electricity can also combine with an active electronic sensor to generate data for a wide variety of variables including temperature, humidity, light, shock and acidity.
BeFC’s disruptive technology is based around a metal and plastic-free, organic technology, capable of revolutionizing industrial applications utilizing low-voltage electronics. BeFC can reduce the cost of such low-voltage energy sources, with the added bonus of drastically reducing their environmental footprint. BeFC was delighted to see its core biofuel technology (an alternative to batteries) in the spotlight at GITEX, and even happier to see its innovative technology win the Supernova Challenge 2021.
As well as a challenge this was also a huge opportunity for BeFC. It was a real opportunity to network with so many world leaders in innovation, and the atmosphere of the event was electrifying. Team BeFC was understandably proud when it was announced that its paper-based biofuel cell was selected as a category winner for the Supernova Challenge 2021 for “Best Social & Environmental Impact”.

BeFC’s disruptive technology caught the expert eye of a panel of world-class mentors and investors. These leading lights in innovation included Jo Foster - Reebok’s founder, as well as Tim Draper, a famous technology scout who invested early in Hotmail, Baidu and Skype amongst other technologies. These two experts stopped by our booth to learn more about BeFC’s solution for low-power electronics and were pleased to find out more about the technology.
BeFC was supported at Gitex by Minalogic - a French competitiveness cluster for digital technologies in the Auvergne-Rhônes-Alpes region. Minalogic is an important partner and BeFC would like to thank the organization for its help and support at this event.
