15.10 Are recycled plastics a real alternative?
There is a widespread desire to use recycled plastics whenever possible. But it may not always be as straightforward a decision as it sounds. Material properties, supply chain realities and product design are some of the crucial areas you need to investigate further when considering recycled plastics for your products.
Rasmus Grusgaard, Senior Consultant at The Danish Plastics Federation will take us through the current state of recycled plastics – what are the possibilities, and what are the limitations?
15.35 Make your early prototype look like a million
Are you struggling to showcase your groundbreaking hardware when it still looks... well, like a prototype? You're building the future, but right now it's wires, tape, and maybe a 3D print that's seen better days. How do you capture the vision and excitement for investors, customers, and partners when your product is still far from picture-perfect?
Patrick Bates, founder of The Content House will share actionable tips and tricks to transform your early-stage prototypes into compelling visuals and captivating stories.
16.00 Our current challenges – with the startups of Batch 3
The participating startups in Batch 3 will each give a short presentation of their current manufacturing related challenges – and hopefully others in the room can provide advice or connections to help them overcome their challenges. Challenges could include anything from decisions about materials, sourcing of components, mechanical design issues to CE marking, packaging and make-or-buy decisions. And much more.
