Deadline: 31-Dec-22
Logitech is looking for a breakthrough, next-generation materials, components, and processes to accelerate the development of more sustainable products. They are also looking for partners who want to gain exposure to their ideas. Let’s collaborate and find ways to scale your innovation.
Types of Challenges
- ELECTRONICS: They’re looking for new solutions that use lower-impact materials and energy-efficient processes in the design and production of circuit boards, which have traditionally taken a toll on the environment.
- ENERGY STORAGE AND MANAGEMENT: Have an answer to safer, scalable, cost-effective electronics for high-capacity batteries and energy storage? They’re looking for solutions featuring alternative materials to lithium or cobalt and techniques for battery recycling.
- TRANSDUCERS AND ACTUATORS: Currently there is no viable commercialized solution to magnet alternatives and efficient electro-mechanical designs in audio devices or other consumer electronics. They’re looking for innovative ideas in addressing this gap.
- MATERIALS: Their goal is to minimize energy use and reduce environmental impact while maximizing supply chains. They want to hear from you if you have a material alternative that reduces weight, increases strength, reduces carbon footprint, and is bio-based/biodegradable or renewable.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Future Positive Challenge is for disruptive companies, startups, and pioneering engineers who want to drive change in a multi-billion dollar industry. As a sustainability-minded partner looking to make an impact on the world, you understand that the consumer electronics industry needs to balance available resources with environmental impact. Apply if you are looking to find meaningful connections to scale your business.
- Registered organizations of all sizes and types are welcome to apply, including startups, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), innovative companies, and institutes of higher education (universities, research institutes). At this time they do not accept applications from individuals.
