The James Dyson Award application period is now open for 2023. James Dyson is looking for brilliant individuals with original concepts from all over the world. They are interested in learning about your inventions if they offer a solution.
The James Dyson Award is a global design prize that honors, supports, and motivates the upcoming generation of design experts. It is administered by the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson’s charitable foundation, and is available to current and recent design engineering students as part of its goal to inspire young people about design engineering.
The James Dyson Award is your chance to make a name for yourself as an inventor. As well as
