What is The Composite App Challenge?
The Composite App Challenge is designed to tap the planet’s best thinking for ideas and applications that can expand the use of composite materials. As a leading global producer of glass fiber reinforcements and fabrics, Owens Corning is working on lots of potential applications that will benefit from using composite materials. At the same time, we don’t want to rely solely on our own thinking so we are offering awards for ideas and applications that can expand the use of composites in four categories addressing some of society’s pressing issues. The company is offering a $200,000 development award for a composite solution that can be introduced in 2012 and four cash awards for other ideas. One $20,000 cash award is for anyone and three $10,000 awards are reserved specifically for university students.
