From healthcare and wellbeing to education and the environment, we’ve been missing out on a world of digital devices that can improve people’s lives. That’s why we’re on a mission to make digital device production easier and more accessible for all.

Our Funded Projects

Replicability

These projects seek to overcome barriers to isotyping, or the process of replicating digital devices for testing or production purposes.

Infrastructure for Device production

These projects demonstrate how infrastructure beyond traditional manufacturing can provide solutions to refining and scaling device prototypes.

Our Events
