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.

Where You At?

When attending events or venues, individuals often encounter the challenge of being unable to locate their friends due to the loss of internet connection or poor network coverage.

Samaritance

Time is the most valuable resource each of us has in life, yet one misstep can put this time, and its quality, in jeopardy. Traffic accidents cause 20 to 50 million people annually, to face this grim reality, making it the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged 5-29 (source: WHO, 2023). In these accidents, the difference between life or death is decided by mere seconds, but many of those crucial seconds are lost due to inefficiencies in the call for and subsequent help. Individuals could find themselves injured in isolation, bystanders may hesitate to act, or critical information needed for aid might be unavailable.

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.

IN-DUC

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
