HONG KONG SAR, RIAUGREEN.COM – Media outreach – Since its first outfit, James Dyson Award has given over £1 million to young engineers and scientists around the world and supported over 300 outstanding inventions. This year, Sir James Dyson has selected two global winners, receiving £30,000 each, and one runner-up, receiving £5,000 in prize money, to support the next stage of their invention.
“Each year, the James Dyson Award for design confirms that young people are passionate about improving the environment of the planet, solving environmental and medical problems. Some people talked about problems that interested them, but these young inventors often did something more practical. They work tirelessly to solve problems using smart engineering, science and design,” Sir James Dyson said in his statement, Wednesday (16/11/2022).
