 Mr. Lawn and his team achieved success on their second attempt, having previously participated in this contest a year earlier, when they were funded by the 2014 Global Challenge and Creation (G.C & C) Program organized by the Robert T. Huang Entrepreneurship Center of Kyushu University (QREC).  
The prize-winning project received the Challenge and Creation (C&C) Project President’s Award in both 2013 and 2014, and the technology has now achieved international recognition with this award.
