The Netherlands has one of the worst water qualities in the EU when it comes to ground and surface water. Especially the excessive use of fertilisers has resulted in 40% of samples exceeding the EU limit of nitrate concentration. Too much nitrate is unhealthy, harms ecosystems and destroys biodiversity.
CIWI - Chemical Innovations in Water Industries
The basic chemicals used to treat water are not always available and shortages in these treatment chemicals, a direct result of these disruptions, can lead to a critical loss of water accessibility. This isn't limited to just drinking water; the ramifications are far-reaching, affecting entire industrial operations.

The problem we are facing is multi-faceted: many products on the market today are priced without consideration for the true cost of production and consumption. This leads to a variety of issues, including environmental degradation, exploitation of resources and labor, and unsustainable business practices in the long term.

We provide fossil fuel-free outdoor cooking, starting the energy transition in the outdoor market. The climate goals of the EU are the following: 2030 should have a carbon reduction and by 2050 the entire EU should be carbon neutral. In the current outdoor climate, more than 95% of people still cook on fossil fuels (mostly gas) and 98% of new caravans and campers are offered with gas cooktops. The reasons people don't cook on electricity yet when cooking on a campsite are: - Electricity supply at campsites isn’t high enough to be able to cook. → supply isn’t increased because of the costs of such renovations and the protection of nature reserves. - Electrical options aren’t marketed for- and tailored to the outdoor market. - Electrical options always have a plug, taking away from mobility. Current ways of cooking bring problems, of which the most important ones are: - Current solutions emit greenhouse gasses. - Current options are dangerous with open flames and toxic fumes - Current options can’t be used in every kind of weather (windy conditions) - Prices of fossil fuels are only getting higher - People don’t know when a canister is empty - The returning of gas canisters is a hassle - The size of an entire set can be too large to bring on a vacation - The amount of heat often can’t be adjusted
Match Point
International students who aspire to participate in (especially collective) sports collectively often face challenges due to a lack of connections and networks within the local sports community. This limitation inhibits their ability to join teams or find opportunities for organized sports activities.

The HR-Tech sector has lagged far behind other sectors. Companies are still either using traditional methods in their recruitment processes or getting help from different sources for each step. This both reduces the effectiveness of this process and creates an inevitable bias in companies that use traditional recruitment processes. Leext's goal is to migrate this entire process to a single, advanced and completely unbiased all-in-one platform.
OptiWelfare
Across the globe, societies face the challenge of inefficient resource allocation, leading to disparities in access to essential services, economic opportunities, and overall well-being. This challenge stems from various factors such as limited data-driven decision-making, lack of transparency, and inadequate consideration of socio-economic dynamics.
