Ricoh MIRAI Challenge for startups and students

Ricoh, a leading Japanese multinational imaging and electronics company, is hosting a challenge for startups and students. Ricoh “MIRAI” Challenge – The Future of MFP – invites participants to submit their ideas to remodel the concept of the multi-functional printer and peripheral, both from a traditional and modern perspective

Are you a startup or students with a passion for pushing the boundaries of technology? Then the Ricoh “MIRAI” Challenge is for you! This competition has three categories to apply:

  • Solutions for a world with paper: Create a solution that harnesses the need for paper in modern industries/fields.
  • Solutions for a paperless world: If not for physical printing, how should printers/scanners evolve to still be relevant in the workplace?
  • Wild Card: Development of innovative solutions/creative ideas to create a potential future partnership with Ricoh, regardless of category.

Don’t miss this opportunity to develop a concept alongside a significant global player and create the future together! Apply now for the chance to pitch your solution to Ricoh executives. The winning startup will be potentially receiving funding support to develop a Proof of Concept and each team member of the winning student team will be rewarded with a high-end digital compact camera.

Applications end on March 29, 2023.
