Elegant Solutions No. 7
For this lucky number seven in the Elegant Solutions series, I’m going to change it up a bit. I’m going to ask YOU whether you think any or all of the following five innovative solutions, finalists in the inaugural Philips Innovation Fellows competition , can be classified as elegant. (Remember, the definition of elegant: maximum effect, minimum means.)
After months of raising support for their ideas on the crowd funding site Indiegogo, these are the five that have made it to the final round, and currently being presented internally to Philips employees throughout North America to determine who the grand-prize winner will be. Four of our finalists will get $10,000 to fund their projects and the overall winner will get $60,000 and be mentored by Philips executives to help bring their innovation to life.
