Challenge: Poor dietary habits and lack of nutrition knowledge have led to rising obesity, food-related diseases, and environmental damage due to high resource use and greenhouse gas emissions. There’s also a disconnect between consumers and local farmers, resulting in high CO2 emissions from imported food while local farmers struggle to find customers.

The solution: An educational nutrition app for students that promotes healthier eating and minimizes food waste. Input your ingredients, and the app generates nutritious recipes tailored to what you have. Learn about essential vitamins, proteins, and carbs, and connect with others through a chat forum to share tips and recipes. With AI-driven suggestions and focusing on using leftovers, this app helps reduce waste while improving your cooking skills. The app would be programmed to suggest recipes with foods with the least CO2 emissions, such as plant-based or locally-grown ingredients.

Challenge: Due to a lack of standardization, batteries of micro mobility vehicles(e-bikes, e-scooters, etc.) aren’t being fully utilized during their lifetime and aren’t being recycled at the end of it.

The solution: We will develop a unified standard that not only fix current issues but also will reduce costs and allow for public battery swapping stations that will eliminate long charging times.

Challenge: Citizens, businesses, and local government in Rotterdam need a stable, resilient energy grid to manage increasing energy demand, fluctuating renewable energy supply, and the growing use of electric vehicles to ensure continuous access to power, maintain critical services, and support the city’s climate and sustainability goals.​

The solution: Our solution offers a smarter way to manage the increasing demand for electric vehicle charging by optimizing energy usage and generation. By balancing the energy supply and demand and enhancing energy efficiency, we help cities achieve greater sustainability and support the integration of renewable energy sources, while ensuring reliable and stable power for all citizens.

Challenge: Farmers in drought-prone areas need better groundwater and rainwater storage systems to maintain crop yields and ensure long-term agricultural productivity.

The solution: Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR), the solution to address Belgium’s increasing water challenges, particularly the growing risks of droughts and floods caused by climate change. The idea is to capture and store excess rainwater during periods of heavy rainfall by directing it into underground aquifers. This stored water can be accessed during dry periods, providing a more reliable and sustainable water supply for agriculture, industry, and communities.
