Mirka has always had a passion for innovation and a mission to give people the opportunity to perform better. Great products come from the willingness to challenge how things have been done in the past. That passion and belief have now grown beyond our core business, into a platform to find, test, and support ideas that could shape where our company, and the wider industry, is heading.

Launched in 2025, the Green Transition Challenge focused on innovations that boost circularity, extend product life cycles, and enable sustainable material solutions. Open to startups, researchers, students, and other innovators, the challenge provided opportunities for mentoring and business development.

Launched in 2024, the Remanufacturing Challenge invited innovators to explore new ways of extending product lifecycles through repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and circular business models. The challenge aimed to identify sustainable solutions that support a more circular manufacturing industry.
