The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has officially launched the application process for social innovators who are dedicated to scaling hardware technology solutions aimed at tackling pressing global challenges. This initiative is part of the ISHOW accelerator, which falls under the broader ASME Hardware portfolio of programs.
The ISHOW accelerator program operates on a global scale and invites individuals and ventures that are in the process of bringing physical products to market. These products should be designed to create a positive social or environmental impact, aligning with ASME’s mission to advance engineering for the benefit of humanity. ASME is particularly focused on hardware solutions that address critical issues related to humanitarian efforts, habitat sustainability, and the interconnected challenges of water, food, and energy. Additionally, innovations that promote human health are of significant interest.
To be eligible for the ASME ISHOW, applicants must possess an existing prototype of their product and demonstrate a keen interest in obtaining both technical and financial support. Furthermore, participants will gain access to expert networks that can provide valuable assistance in navigating the path to market entry.
Interested individuals and ventures can submit their applications through the designated application portal.
