Konkrete Technologies, the design, development and manufacturing company behind the UVBuddy, is working hard on making the UVBuddy come to life. Konkrete has opted to join Indiegogo's technology partner's, Arrow technologies' certification programme, and Arrow's engineers have verified and certified that the UVBuddy, the tiny, smart UV and temperature sensor, made from brushed aluminum and beautiful pastel color panels, while elegant, playful and smart - it is also feasible for manufacturing.

Konkrete will continue work with Arrow and Indiegogo, but now relies on crowd funding to help start the process. The UVBuddy is on Indiegogo and needs backers' help to come to life. More info is available at http://get.uvbuddy.com
