Amir Mehrjoo

I am the Founder & CTO of RunwayReady, where we are building the first Operating System for the Circular Closet. My work focuses on pioneering the transition of physical wardrobes into high-velocity digital assets—solving the multi-billion dollar problem of consumer decision fatigue and dead stock.

Technically, I architect our proprietary, high-speed data engines to automate alignment with 2026 EU regulatory mandates, positioning our platform as a primary gateway for Digital Product Passports (DPP). We are also engineering a multi-sided ecosystem that connects predictive AI styling with local service economies (like repair and tailors) to drive a 100% circular garment lifecycle.

My Background:

• PhD in Telematics Engineering: I completed my PhD in Telematics Engineering at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where my thesis was nominated for the prestigious Cum Laude distinction. Over 5 years of doctoral and applied research at the IMDEA Networks Institute, I specialized in real-time big data infrastructure, machine learning pipelines, NoSQL databases, Scala, Spark, and cloud orchestration.

• Academic Foundations: I hold a Master’s degree in Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, a Master’s degree in Business & Finance from UC3M, and a Bachelor’s in Engineering from Shiraz University.

• Serial Entrepreneurship: Prior to founding RunwayReady, I founded and scaled a medical diagnostic equipment firm, managing international regulatory pathways, technical setups, and operations.

Why I am here:

We are looking for strategic partners (SMEs, research labs, brands, or regional hubs) from other eligible RIVCircular regions (such as France, Austria, Norway, Greece, or Slovakia) to collaborate on Topic 5 (Digital Solutions for Circular Economy) or Topic 4 (Circular Textiles).
