Elon Smart Tech operates as a technology firm specializing in the development of both software and hardware geared towards environmental digitalization. The company was brought into existence in 2017 by Pablo Alonso de Lomas, who serves as CEO, and Andoni Iribar, the CTO. Alonso de Lomas, with a background in B2B, and Iribar, an electronic engineer, initially conceived of a venture focused on energy monitoring. This foundational idea evolved into the broader mission of developing smart environments, targeting the future-facing fields of economic electrification and digitalization.
The team has since expanded to include Jon Duo, Alain Hinojosa, and Francisco Marco. The company’s operations are structured under two distinct brands: Elon Energías Renovables and Elon IoT. The former concentrates on the installation of photovoltaic systems and related energy services, primarily in the northern regions of Spain, including Euskadi, Cantabria, La Rioja, and Navarra. Initially, the revenue generated from these solar panel installations was instrumental in financing the research and development efforts of the Elon IoT division.
Elon IoT is dedicated to creating hardware and software for intelligent environments. A key product in their portfolio has been the ELON M, a device designed for air quality measurement that identifies urban pollutants as defined by the World Health Organization. The company is currently working on a more integrated solution that combines air quality monitoring with acoustic pollution measurement and vehicle traffic control using artificial vision. Elon Smart Tech’s primary clientele consists of municipalities and public entities engaged in building smart cities and territories.
To date, more than 11 municipalities have placed their trust in the developments offered by Elon IoT. The company also has strategic plans to extend its services to smart buildings and smart homes, indicating a wider scope for its market penetration. The B2B model is rooted in providing project-based solutions, from renewable energy installations to the deployment of sophisticated IoT devices and software platforms for environmental monitoring and management.
