Categories honoured SMEs, larger companies, young talent, and lifetime achievement, with a focus on technological innovation and environmental impact. A record player, a yacht, a shelf, and a high-tech hospital bed were all among designs honoured at the 2024 Design Europa Awards yesterday (25 September) for their creativity and innovation, but also management of environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) backed award &#8211; held in a different member state each year &#8211; was broadcast live from the National Library of Riga. Nominees were divided into four categories, recognising large and medium-sized companies, entrepreneurs and SMEs, young talent under 30, and a lifetime achievement award. Environmental sustainability been considered as a criterion for judging the projects since 2021, coinciding with the European Commission\u2019s launch of its Green Deal strategy.<\/p>\n<p>P\u00e4ivi Tahkokallio, a jury member who chaired the panel in 2021, was behind the introduction of the environmental criterion in the competition. &#8220;There was a sense of urgency to find solutions to mitigate climate &#8230; sustainability needs to go hand in hand with intellectual property rights protection,&#8221; she told Euronews. The criterion is now a permanent fixture of the event, but she pointed out the challenges in evaluating sustainability, as it can manifest in various ways.<\/p>\n<p>Many of this year\u2019s finalists chose to focus on the longevity of their products, opposing hyper-consumerism and planned obsolescence. They offered reparable items adaptable to changing tastes. The SMEs and Entrepreneurs category winner went a step further. The Transparent Turntable, created by a Swedish company, impressed the jury with its easy-to-upgrade components, allowing for new technologies to be incorporated. It also stood out for its use of recycled and recyclable materials, while delivering high tech performance.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/next\/2024\/09\/26\/tech-and-environmental-sustainability-projects-emerge-as-winners-in-european-design-awards\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/next\/2024\/09\/26\/tech-and-environmental-sustainability-projects-emerge-as-winners-in-european-design-awards\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/tech-and-environmental-sustainability-projects-emerge-as-winners-in-european-design-awards-2024-design-europa-awards-entrepreneurs-and-small-companies-winner-with-prime-minister-of\/\">Tech and environmental sustainability projects emerge as winners in European Design Awards 2024 Design Europa Awards<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,16260],"class_list":["post-133983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-tech-and-environmental-sustainability-projects"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133983\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
