Summary

Background

Logitech designs products that have an everyday place in people's lives, connecting them to the digital experiences they care about. More than 35 years ago, Logitech started connecting people through computers, and now it’s a multi-brand company designing products that bring people together through music, gaming, video, and computing.

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 in the pre seed or early series funding stages and looking to find meaningful connections to scale your business. 

Challenge

Currently there is no viable commercialized solution to magnet alternatives and efficient electro mechanical designs in audio devices or other consumer electronics. We' re looking to you to share your innovative ideas to partner in addressing this gap.

Logitech are looking for applications in the following areas, but all relevant applications are welcome.

Magnet alternatives and efficient electro-mechanical designs in audio devices and other consumer electronics.

  • Non-rare earth magnetic material 
  • Recycled magnetic material 
  • EM motor for audio driver
  • Sustainable materials for frame, voice coil, bobbin, diaphragm, etc.
  • Motor structure design
  • Voice coil design 
  • Higher energy conversion efficiency (SPL to size ratio)

What's in it for you?

A successful proposal would mean either working directly with Logitech or one of their supplier partners in implementing the solution and working as a collective team to bring the innovation to market.
