**Welcome to the 12th Zurich Hardware Meetup!**

Whether you're a student or a professional, engineer, or designer, join us to meet others who share a passion for building tangible products. We’ll have two talks from great guest speakers, and a chance for anyone to share their projects, asks, and questions during an open mic session. Prototypes are welcome!

**Our speakers on the theme: Designing Sustainable Hardware:**

Have you ever wondered what the carbon impact of a hardware product is?

* [Michael Kölbl](https://ch.linkedin.com/in/mkoelbl) from [Spare Energy](https://www.spare.energy/) on making reusable batteries a reality for more sustainable electronics.

* [Nando Schmidlin](https://milani.ch/de/ueber-uns/team/nando-schmidlin) from[ Milani Design & Consulting](https://milani.ch/de/) on designing sustainable devices – with circular economy principles and humans in mind.

**Our Partners**

* We are hosted by the [ETH Student Project House,](https://sph.ethz.ch/about) which supports students in exploring and building on their curiosity. They provide students with a pressure-free environment that triggers inspiration, discussion and hands-on (and often messy) exploration so that they can develop a mindset geared towards creating, innovating and leading impactful change.
* [Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich](https://www.switzerland-innovation.com/zurich/) positions itself as a dynamic hub for innovators, fostering connections between academia and industry with its unparalleled global network. It serves as a catalyst to enhance their innovation potential and market readiness. Located next to the Dübendorf airfield, its focus areas are primarily, but not exclusively, Robotics & Mobility, Space & Aviation and Advanced Manufacturing.
* The experienced product development engineers at the [ETH Feasibility Lab](https://fl.ethz.ch/) supported by ETH engineering students help organizations tackle innovative topics that are too uncertain for large-scale projects, by reducing the initial uncertainty through testing of minimal viable prototypes.
* [informal](https://informal.cc/) is a freelance collective for the most talented independent professionals in hardware. Whether you're looking for a single contractor, a full-time employee, or an entire team of professionals to work on everything from product development to go-to-market strategy, the informal collective has the perfect collection of people for the job. With expertise in diverse projects ranging from consumer electronics to automotive, green tech, and medical devices, informal members work with clients at every stage to design, manufacture, market, and ship top-quality physical products, built to succeed.
