Icarus Prosthetics

The idea for Icarus Prosthetics was born from a lifelong fascination with prosthetic technology and a deep frustration with how expensive and inaccessible it can be for those who need it most. That interest, combined with a growing commitment to global health—especially after working with a maternal healthcare charity in Bangladesh—inspired me to help work on a solution that merges both passions. 
 
Icarus Prosthetics is the result: a nonprofit focused on using 3D printing to provide affordable, customizable prosthetic limbs to underserved communities. So far, I've mapped out the core structure of the charity and am currently in the process of printing our first functional prototype. 

The next phase for Icarus Prosthetics is focused on moving from concept to impact. With our first prototype currently in development, the goal is to refine the design through user feedback, build a network of local and international partners, and begin distributing prosthetics to those in need—starting with small-scale trials and expanding from there. 
 
From the Elevate programme, I hope to gain the guidance, mentorship, and resources needed to turn this vision into a sustainable, scalable nonprofit. I’m especially keen to develop the business infrastructure—legal, financial, and operational—and connect with likeminded innovators and experts who can help shape the long-term impact of Icarus Prosthetics. Elevate offers a unique environment that I have previously worked in and learned a significant amount from.

As a nonprofit, Icarus Prosthetics is not seeking traditional investors, but we are actively looking for funding partners, donors, and grant support to help bring our mission to life. 

To kickstart our operations, we’re currently seeking £5,000–£7,000 in initial funding.
