I-Form and Stryker’s Collaborative Programme Shortlisted for AmCham’s 2025 Global Community Award

We are thrilled to announce that ‘Manufacturing a Healthy Future’, a collaborative initiative between I-Form and Stryker, has been shortlisted for the prestigious 2025 Global Community Award at AmCham’s US-Ireland Business Awards.

A Shared Vision for Impact and Innovation

Since 2021, I-Form has proudly partnered with global medtech leader Stryker to deliver this innovative programme aimed at fostering STEM skills through the use of 3D printing technology in classrooms. Rooted in a shared commitment to education, community engagement, and sustainable manufacturing, Manufacturing a Healthy Future brings the latest in advanced manufacturing directly to students and teachers across the country.

Empowering Future STEM Innovators

The initiative has already made a meaningful difference, with over 120 teachers and 2,000 pupils participating nationwide. Importantly, 25% of these students come from disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring that access to cutting-edge learning tools is equitable and inclusive.

Through this programme, participating schools receive sponsored 3D printers and tailored learning resources, co-developed and supported by I-Form and Stryker teams. These hands-on experiences allow students to engage creatively with technology and manufacturing processes, planting the seeds for the next generation of STEM innovators.

Recognising Community Commitment

Stryker’s nomination for the Global Community Award celebrates their global dedication to local impact, especially in communities surrounding their facilities in Ireland. Their responsible and sustainable approach aligns seamlessly with I-Form’s mission to advance innovation while contributing positively to society.

Congratulations to our partners at Stryker on this well-deserved recognition—and thank you to all the educators and students who have brought this programme to life. At I-Form, we remain committed to building a healthier, more innovative future through collaborative, purpose-driven action.
