This Ishow condition of only pitching a finished prototype locks out many innovative ideas from Global South. Lack of awareness & lack of facilities with dedicated capacity to handle S,D,G challenge or how an idea can be actualized all kill the ideas to obscurity. Example i have a DAC idea at scale, mobile plasma fired medical waste or otherwise incinerator which does not need grid power tethering, how to retrofit E.V. car to be self charging as it cruises, electrifying diesel dumper trucks & other mining equipment by just retrofitting etc But since i have no capacity to have their feasibility audited they just gather dust on the drawing board. Kindly consider this niche of obscure grassroots innovators.
You’re right, and now there’s a program to help develop good ideas. ASME has a new incubator for ideas that haven’t progressed enough to be eligible for ISHOW. It’s called IDEA Lab. Here’s the webpage on it: https://thisishardware.org/ideas.
From their site: Now, we move upstream with the Idea Lab incubator to aid budding social entrepreneurs in developing and building on their own impactful ideas, filling the pipeline for future ISHOW accelerator innovators, while opening pathways to new partnerships and geographies.
Timeline: Candidates invited into Idea Lab will engage in 6-18 months of incubation, mentorship, and training depending on their technical background, stage of development, and needs moving forward. Applications are open April 22 – June 6, 2022. Selected candidates will be announced in July/August 2022 timeframe.
Benefits: Idea Lab is designed to help you navigate the challenges of product design/development and provide mentorship, tools, and guidance you will need to build a first iteration prototype. Candidates will have access to a tailored curriculum that will expose you to the principles of sustainable and human-centered design practices.
