N2 - The purpose of this article is to illustrate how research ignites big assets; from products, patents, technology, and even the creation of new companies. Using authors' experiences, it will be shown how an antenna engineering challenge was addressed and how it ended up with a new antenna technology to bring new solutions to the Internet of Things (IoT) space. The different milestones discussed in the article will also inspire and encourage young researchers to pursue R&D career paths. The paths include plenty of hard work and ups and downs but also a very rewarding experience that, in the end, enables stunning advances in technology for humanity.
