The conventional construction industry heavily relies on materials like concrete, which significantly contribute to global carbon emissions and environmental degradation. This traditional approach is deeply entrenched, with a marked resistance to adopting greener alternatives despite the urgent need to reduce the industry's carbon footprint. The persistence of these methods exacerbates the problem, as it not only hampers efforts to combat climate change but also overlooks the potential of sustainable materials that offer equivalent durability and cost-effectiveness. Our venture aims to challenge this status quo by demonstrating that eco-friendly construction materials can align with industry standards while significantly mitigating environmental impact.

Emito

Emito started as a project at HAN University and the Dutch police to ease parking pressure at police stations. But deeper analysis revealed a bigger issue: employee commuting habits. This led to Emito evolving into a mobility app, backed by the university and police interest, transitioning from project to start-up. The challenge lies in employee commuting habits, impacting environmental sustainability and compliance with regulations like WPM (Werkgebonden personenmobiliteit) and CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Many companies lack clear strategies for WPM kilometre registration and struggle with regulatory compliance. Additionally, there's a need to make sustainable commuting more appealing and accessible. Emito addresses these challenges by promoting sustainable commuting and aiding regulatory compliance.

Even with the rising popularity of sustainable energy solutions, most countries and businesses are still lagging behind when it comes to optimizing their utility costs. The dramatic surge in European energy prices caused by economic and geopolitical instability has only worsened this situation. We simply cannot afford to mismanage energy, water and other scarce resources, which our future is so dependent on.
