Electrolux is looking for innovative solutions to address the challenges selected for the current edition of the Booster Program, by leveraging external innovation opportunities that might come from different industries. Preferably, solutions are at their prototype or MVP maturity level and could be industrialized into Electrolux products and processes within a 12-month timeframe.

To collect innovative solutions, we have launched a Call4Innovation to all external innovators and set-up a fast-track selection process to identify the most promising to be admitted to the Booster Program.

Start-ups, spin-offs, SMEs, private inventors and other small businesses or anyone else who wants to innovate, experiment and provide for solutions within the selected challenges for the current edition.

The aim of the Call4Innovation is to identify the most relevant solutions to address the challenges specifically referred to the 2022-2023 Booster Program.

The ultimate goal is to set-up a joint collaboration - with the winners of the Call4Innovation - to further develop the proposal into an applicable solution for the Electrolux use cases.

Project target and requirements will be defined together at the beginning of the Booster Program.

The value of partnering with Electrolux might be recognized through different collaboration models which will be defined on a case by case basis.
