We are honored to contribute to safeguarding volunteers and operations staff from heat risks at a global event—the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 2025. Canaria Plus removes constraints related to charging, connectivity, and language, delivering an intuitive, universally understandable heat‑safety device. Through this project, we aim to support safe event operations and help establish heat‑mitigation solutions as a standard for sports competitions and large‑scale events worldwide. We hope this initiative, starting in Tokyo, will be a meaningful step toward an international standard.
