1. Bluesmart – “The world’s first smart, connected luggage.”

Bluesmart is the world’s first smart connected piece of luggage. It was created by a group of tech savvy friends who love to travel but experienced the same issues with luggage while globetrotting. Named as the “Top Innovative Product and Service of 2014” by Forbes Magazine, the suitcase features a digital lock, battery charger, location tracking and built in scale to name a few features. Bluesmart is powered by 3G-connectivity and users can track their bag from any location in the world! The suitcase will lock automatically when the owner is not in the vicinity and the built-in battery charger allows for re-charging of a smartphone up to six times. Bluesmart can be pre-ordered at http://bluesmart.com/.

3. JAQ – “Life unplugged.”

Introduced by the Swedish innovation company myFC in February of this year, JAQ is a smaller, lighter and more powerful fuel cell charger that does not require a power jack! With no charging required, JAQ instantly creates electricity on the fly when the slimline card is activated. Ready to be used anywhere; the slimline card generates power from water and salt enclosed in the card. When inserted into the charger, the water and salt are activated to produce hydrogen which fuels the cell. The fuel cell is an environmentally friendly solution for charging a phone, tablet or camera and is made from recycled materials! JAQ will be available for purchase in late 2015.
