This summer, Amazon held its first contest to find “products for tomorrow.” The awards competition sought innovative products created with sustainability in mind. To qualify, products had to be innovative in design, material, or chemistry, and produced by a small business in the U.S. We’re excited to announce the five winning products and the small businesses that created them. Go to Amazon.com to shop the winners.
Each winner has received access to the Amazon Launchpad program, which supports new brands, entrepreneurs, and startups in overcoming many of the challenges associated with launching new products. The program provides marketing tools and a suite of services and benefits to help businesses increase the visibility of their products, so they can focus on new innovations and expansion. Additionally, winners received a $20,000 grant, guidance and assistance with sustainability certifications, and product placement opportunities for their winning products across Amazon's online site, including the newly launched Products for Tomorrow page.
