The organisation
The Philips Innovation Award is a platform where participants are guided by experts with an eye on sustainable and valuable ideas. Participation provides access to a large network of other ambitious entrepreneurs and professionals from various companies.
The final
More than 300 teams applied for The Philips Innovation Award this year. In the semi-finals, 30 innovators pitched, after which five finalists were chosen. Sit & Heat is one of the finalists. "My biggest dream is to supply half the world with Sit & Heat, the cold part. Too much heat is currently lost to the outside air," Jorg Rijkschroeff said.
