Consulting for Project Circleg

Project Circleg is an appropriate modular lower-limb prosthetic system designed for the needs of amputees in developing countries. By smart design and the utilization of recycled plastic waste in combination with adapted production methods, the Circleg prosthesis can be produced locally and cost-efficient. The ambitious goal of Project Circleg is to equip as many people as possible, who previously had no access to a prosthesis, with such an aid and at the same time strengthen local economies.

Radiate is happy to be a new consulting partner for the recently formed Zurich based startup. We will conduct a series of Engineering & Design workshops together with the Circleg-Team and will further advise and support them on technical issues and challenges in the area of FEM modeling and optimization of the prosthesis system in order to push Project Circleg one step ahead.

Mattis Stolze joins the Radiate team

Radiate Engineering welcomes a new member to the team: Mr. Mattis Stolze.

As a trained Msc ETH with a focus on Product Development and Structural Mechanics, Mattis has in-depth know-how, which he has proven several times in cooperation with Helvetas and in his work in technical product development for the structural-mechanical design of wind turbines.

But Mattis can do even more: thanks to his experience in Innovation Management (leading  many Design Thinking Workshops at Spark Works and Spark Labs) and as an Innovation Coach at the ETH Zurich, Mattis ideally complements the Radiate Team in the area of ​​Innovation Consulting.

Next to his work at Radiate, there will be hopefully enough time left for ski tours and climbing for the passionate mountaineer.

Welcome to Radiate, Mattis!
