FUTURE PIANO is creating the 'Standing Grand': a vertical grand piano, to tackle the space limitations of modern homes. It will be easy to move around, radically space saving and lightweight, by employing contemporary engineering and materials.Future Piano was founded by pianist Sarah Nicolls. She invented the new piano shape through her own style of playing the strings as well as the keys so this piano also makes every part of every string available to the performer, adding to the piano's palette. Future Piano was formed in 2017, to lead an Innovate-UK funded Design Foundations research phase. The team that Sarah assembled is now moving towards their first build, of the world's first ever lightweight 'Standing Grand' employing aerospace composites technology.For the Women in Innovation Award, Sarah is most looking forward to the incredible support package on offer and connecting with other female innovators and entrepreneurs. She wants to make the Future Piano Standing Grand an investable and successful project, to really radically disrupt the historical and rather safe piano industry. The Future Piano team will also be undertaking vital R&D on their first composites prototype and looking at on-shoring piano building and innovation skills not currently found in the UK.

未来的钢琴正在创建“站立式的宏伟”：垂直的大钢琴，以应对现代房屋的空间限制。通过使用现代工程和材料，可以轻松地四处走动，从根本上节省空间和轻量级。她通过弹奏琴弦以及钥匙的风格发明了新的钢琴形状，因此这款钢琴也使表演者的每个琴弦的每个部分都使钢琴调色板增加了。未来的钢琴成立于2017年，旨在领导创新的基金会研究阶段。莎拉（Sarah）组装的团队现在正朝着他们的第一个建筑迈进，这是世界上第一个使用航空航天复合材料技术的首个轻巧的“站立式”。对于妇女创新奖，莎拉（Sarah）最期待提供令人难以置信的支持套餐，并与其他女性创新者和其他女性创新者和企业家建立联系。她想让未来的钢琴成为一个可投资和成功的项目，以真正破坏历史和安全的钢琴行业。未来的钢琴团队还将在其第一个合成材料的原型上进行重要的研发，并研究英国目前未找到的运输钢琴建筑和创新技能。在www.futurepiano.co.uk上找到更多信息。
