THE COMPOSITE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE
Rewrite the rules of scaling with composite materials
The Composite Engineering Challenge is open to entrepreneurs and innovators globally. We are inviting startups, scale-ups who are looking to ramp up production and need the right combination of materials, design and production technology.
If you have an original idea that we can help you scale, we'd love to see it.
While we applaud imaginative thinking, your idea needs to also be a realistic proposal that makes the most innovative use of our materials and technologies.
Scalability
We're looking for fresh ideas from entrepreneurial businesses that are ready to scale up but may still need some support.
Circularity
Our commitment towards circular economy means that every entry will be judged on how much of a positive impact it can make on the environment.
