CupHub
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.
Reshirt Rotterdam (Enactus)
Reshirt Rotterdam addresses the pressing issue of textile waste by building a community of student upcyclers across campuses. Our platform uniquely combines education on upcycling techniques with a marketplace for selling and exchanging upcycled clothes, fostering sustainability and community engagement from a part of student body‘s not adequately utilized.
UrbanNest Solutions
The Netherlands is facing a severe housing crisis, with an increasing number of people struggling to find affordable and adequate housing. The government's projected timeline for addressing this crisis extends until 2040, but the urgency of the situation demands immediate action to alleviate the hardships faced by individuals and families in need of housing solutions.
RentMatch
The challenge we are trying to solve with RentMatch is the inefficiency and frustration in the traditional housing rental process. Currently, tenants often face difficulties in finding suitable properties that meet their needs, while landlords struggle to identify reliable tenants amidst a flood of applications. This leads to wasted time, resources, and dissatisfaction on both sides of the rental equation.
