We are aiming to return the country back to work as soon as possible. We focused on the re-openning the business sooner again. But with the current personal protection equipment, it is still hard to reach these objectives in a short time.

We need to provide better PPEs which should be low-cost and provide a perfect protection against treats both aerosol, droplet, and splash from all directions caused by close contacts in our daily lives.

Our project with the theme providing low-cost and achievable Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Mask. PAPR masks will transform an idea into practice. This will create a faster re-opening for the businesses. And the people will return to work sooner. Our innovation will bring significant benefits to every workgroup of society.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
