Wireless charging technology holds incredible promise beyond the immediate, day-to-day use cases we’re all likely familiar with. While being able to quickly and wireless charge our phones and cars offer convenience and efficiency, for instance, for those with mobility issues or impairments, wireless charging can unlock life-changing capabilities.
This is at the heart of what the team at AWL Electricity (or AWL-E) are aiming to accomplish with their hardware-based wireless charging solutions designed for electric wheelchairs.
We welcome Francis Beauchamp-Verdon, Co-Founder, VP and Business Development Director at AWL-E, to discuss his mission in the mobility space and the amazing vision his team share.
At AWL-E, Francis and his team have developed a revolutionary method to move electricity wirelessly that not only breaks all boundaries of innovation, but also has immense potential for exploitation. Their mission is to provide industries seeking innovation a way to optimize their processes and make wireless electricity commonplace, while meeting the growing consumer demand for novelty and spatial freedom.
It’s a great vision, and one that takes a lot of passion and entrepreneurial spirit to launch, which Francis has in spades. He’s an alumnae of the Creative Destruction Lab, has been part of the Centech MTL incubator, and is part of the MaRS Discovery District Community, to name just a few of the networks Francis has leveraged to drive his world-changing ideas.
We’re thrilled to pick his brain on how he built AWL-E, his journey as an entrepreneur, and what the rest of 2024 and beyond has in store!
“We’re fundamentally a hardware company”
At it’s core, AWL-Electricity is a #hardware company. Francis and his team are leveraging research and development tax credits to create the physical components necessary to execute their game changing wireless charging technology and techniques.
With the wireless innovation Francis and his team are driving, AWL-E is at the cutting edge of helping cultivate next-generation mobility solutions for people across the world.
Francis and his Co-Founder may not have always agreed about the best way to execute their vision, but they were fundamentally aligned on their goals from the start.
By partnering with a founder for his startup journey that he’s comfortable having the tough conversations with, Francis and his team have been able to accelerate innovation in the mobility and wireless charging space, making a global impact across communities.
