After a month of intense work, the first edition of Imagine Creativity Center has come to an end. The program’s highlight was the final event that took place last Wednesday at Public Works, San Francisco. The participants, the dreamers, presented their ideas around 4 projects: the future of mobility, smart apparel 2.0, the future of shopping experience and the future of advertising.

Innovalley, as sponsor of Imagine, led the project about smart apparel 2.0.

Janire, Óscar and Aitor (the Smart Apparel team) surprised us with an innovative solution to improve the sleeping experience. Their project, called Smart Sleeping, consists of a set of connected blanket, pillow and pajamas that interact with a Smart phone app. The system includes revolutionary features like biometric tracking, multimedia resources, communication capacities… Moreover, users can set up their profile from the app, store it on the cloud and take their sleeping experience anywhere.

Thanks guys for such a great job! Keep on dreaming!

YouShine is here

Everyone knows it: when spring comes, the sun is brighter! Could you imagine a better time to launch our Youshine bags?

We’re thrilled to announce the official opening of our Lab-store, where you get the chance to buy our products, test them and make them better by giving us some feed-back. We are opening it with our first limited edition of YouShine, made out of recycled advertising banners from the city of Barcelona.

YouShine is an ecofriendly bag with flexible solar pannels to charge electronic devices (smartphones, cameras and the iPad). The flexible photovoltaic technology is still in development and hasn’t reach great efficiencies. We hope that our bags will help increase awareness of this technology and promote its development. In any case, the official launch of the YouShine collection is an important first step for Innovalley, which encourages us to keep on creating smart apparel solutions for clothing brands.

We invite you all to to take a look at the different Youshine models available at our Lab Store. And feel free to send us your comments and a funny picture of your new Youshine at: community@innovalley.us

Come to the sunny side of life and tell us what it feels like!
