Graphene Supply Chain
The concrete industry is under pressure to find solutions that reduce environmental impact while improving material performance. The use of graphene-enhanced concrete in the Netherlands is expected to lead to the construction of more durable and sustainable structures. This is particularly important in a country known for its advanced engineering and water management projects, where the strength and longevity of materials are crucial.
La Cabra Curiosa (The Curious Goat)
People 22 and older still feel ashamed when buying products for their sexual health, whether because they do not know what would be good for them specifically, or because the options are so many that they feel overwhelmed and decide to set these desires and needs aside.

The low end of the "fast" restaurant market is in chaos in certain places (university campuses, shopping malls, business areas) - long queues, lack of reliable information and reviews about available restaurants, and existing review platforms can not keep up with the changes. This considers especially vendors as food trucks and small pubs. Franchises benefit from good contracts to get favorable locations (faculty canteens - Food City at TU Delft) and brand size and recognition to create more favorable marketing campaigns and more efficient systems (self-order apps and kiosks - KFC, McDonald) when small business owners can not afford that.

Every year more than 170 million migrants (excluding refugees) and 7 million students move to a new country. Most of them need to learn and adapt to a new culture or lifestyle. This 'settling in' a new country takes time, often a few years and are met with following challenges : 1. No structured support system post formalities of moving. 2. Constant stress & fear of the unknown & ‘the worst case’. 3. Lack of reliable information to solve niche personal issues. 4. Changing personal situation leads to fresh ‘issues’.
Fungi for Future
Start up centered around the production of mycelium-based materials for packaging applications such as protective packaging and foodpackaging.
Aster Projects
Businesses need comprehensive solutions to navigate the complexities of sustainable practices effectively. The current market is saturated with sustainability software offerings, yet these solutions fall short of addressing the full spectrum of customer needs. This gap highlights an unmet demand for integrated sustainability consulting and project management services that software alone cannot fulfill. The reluctance of software companies to venture into consultancy exacerbates this issue, leaving a void in their ability to meet their client's needs.
Innovative Learning Solutions: Navigating the Landscape of Education in a Competitive Market
In the current market landscape, there exists a significant gap in addressing the scaling of skills, where the solutions offered fail to adequately meet the needs of aspiring individuals. Despite the presence of numerous platforms offering diverse skill enhancement programs, a substantial portion of these programs falls short in effectively catering to the requirements of learners. This highlights the pressing need for innovative and tailored solutions that bridge this gap and align closely with the aspirations and learning objectives of individuals seeking skill development opportunities.
BlindSpark
BlindSpark emerges as a response to prevalent issues in the university relationship (friendship and dating) scene, where superficial judgments based on physical appearance often overshadow deeper emotional and intellectual connections. This focus on looks contributes to social isolation among students, who may struggle to find meaningful relationships in environments that prioritize shallow criteria for compatibility. Furthermore, the digital age paradox exacerbates feelings of disconnection, despite the widespread use of technology to facilitate interactions. By addressing these concerns, BlindSpark aims to shift the dynamics of dating towards more substantive and fulfilling engagements.
Hops & Co.
Several dozen small-scale breweries are located in the Randstad area and are brewing thousand litres of craft beer every week using tons of ingredients, mainly grains. The spent grains, a waste stream with currently low utilisation, are mainly taken by farmers from the area. There are already existing use cases implementing the principles of a blue economy by upcycling the spent grains, but these initiatives are usually limited to one exact venue or brewpub.
