Throughout your menstruating life, disposable menstrual products create up to 90,000 kg of waste per person and amount to a total cost of €6000, with 1 out of 10 menstruators in the Netherlands unable to afford them. Additionally, they affect vaginal health by absorbing good bacteria. The reusable menstrual cup is a cost-effective and sustainable solution to these issues, producing only 30 grams of waste, costing €10 and lowering the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. Therefore, the menstrual cup is particularly valuable in emerging economies with limited access to single-use menstrual products, lower incomes and poor sanitation. Yet, in Western countries, the awkward process of rinsing and sterilising the cup is the biggest reason menstruators stick to single-use menstrual products.

Finance Forward Academy

Financial education is still not taught on a large scale, even if it is of fundamental importance. Schools don't teach it. Universities don't teach it. The job won't teach it either. One's own financial knowledge depends heavily on influences from family and friends, and / or the resources that can be found online. But do family members and friends really know everything? Are online resources on that topic not mainly coming from the US? These are not applicable here in Europe! Does a beginner truly know how to distinguish between what is useful information and misinformation or even fake or a scheme? From what I saw in my courses, nope.

Buzz - Power Bank Sharing

We all use our phones daily. Most of us need more than 1 charge a day. And when you need it most, there are no convenient ways to charge your phone. The challenge is to create a dense network of power bank renting stations around the Netherlands, so that everyone who has no battery would not panic but think about checking the Buzz app for the closest stations.

Brains meet Business

We see a challenge for entrepreneurial tech students start a start-up. They don't have knowledge in all the required fields. On the other hand, business orientated students lack the technological knowledge to find technical business opportunities. We discovered that there is a missing link between entrepreneurial minded tech students and business students to learn from each other and exchange valuable knowledge.
