Mouser, which has sponsored the contest for ten years, is joined again by manufacturers Intel and Analog Devices as co-sponsors. The competition is produced by SAE Media Group. COMSOL is also a principal sponsor of the contest. The deadline to enter is July 1.

The grand prize winner receives worldwide recognition and a cash prize of $25,000 for an innovative product that benefits society and the economy. Previous contests have produced more than 15,000 design ideas from engineers, entrepreneurs and students in more than 100 countries.

“From our beginnings, Mouser has supported engineers, innovators and students,” said Kevin Hess, Mouser Electronics’ Senior Vice President of Marketing. “We are proud of our longstanding support for the Create the Future Design Contest and the many innovations it has inspired.”

“Mouser is known for supporting innovation among engineers as well as for providing unparalleled service to its customers,” said Joseph Pramberger, President of SAE Media Group. “We are pleased to once again team up with Mouser and its manufacturers, Intel and Analog Devices.” The Create the Future Design Contest brings attention to product designs that enhance humanity, improve healthcare quality or help provide sustainable solutions.
