Impact on society (5th Open Call)
              A clear trend is being formed of moving from vertical energy management that distributes energy in a wired, centralized manner towards more open and distributed architectures adopted close to the edge of the population networks, which among other technologies also utilize the wireless power potential. In this new paradigm, energy will be distributed, shared and managed locally, thus closing the distance between citizens and the available energy sources.
