Naomi
Every morning, many people's willpower dies before the day even starts. The problem being addressed by Naomi is morning fatigue and difficulty waking up, which lead to underperformance. Inefficient waking methods disrupt the natural sleep cycle, causing stress, exhaustion, and decreased productivity. This can negatively impact mental health, leading to poor decision-making and reduced performance in both personal and professional life.

Live music events are losing authenticity as excessive smartphone use distracts audiences and artists. Current solutions like Yondr pouches are inconvenient, costly, and unsustainable, while camera stickers are easily removable. These methods also block all phone functions, including emergency access. There’s a clear need for a solution that ensures immersion without compromising safety and accessibility.

An housing crisis in the Netherlands has created a challenging environment for international students seeking accommodation. The scarcity of available housing leads to desperation, making students vulnerable to rental scams. Fraudsters exploit this demand by advertising non-existent properties or posing as landlords of real ones, taking advantage of students unfamiliar with the local housing market. These scams cause financial loss and emotional distress and can negatively impact the student's educational experience.

The shipping industry is a major contributor to global carbon emissions, producing approximately 706 million tonnes of CO₂ annually. As international trade grows, emissions from shipping are expected to rise, posing environmental and regulatory challenges. Current fuel-saving technologies often require expensive retrofitting, making adoption difficult for shipping companies. There is a need for a cost-effective, easily deployable solution that reduces fuel consumption and emissions without disrupting existing fleet operations. Meeting stricter environmental regulations while maintaining economic efficiency is a critical challenge for the maritime sector.

Traditional delivery systems rely on roads and ground vehicles, which are often slowed down by traffic congestion, poor infrastructure, and severe weather conditions. These delays are particularly problematic in situations where timely delivery is crucial, such as: Medical emergencies, where hospitals require blood, vaccines, or defibrillators immediately. Rural and remote communities, where supplies may take hours or days to arrive due to limited transportation options. Northern and mountainous regions, where extreme weather and impassable roads prevent access to life-saving goods. Disaster-stricken areas, where floods, landslides, or earthquakes make traditional transport impossible.

Women’s health diagnostics often involve discomfort, invasiveness, and limited accessibility, leading to delayed or avoided screenings. Traditional methods can be rigid, anxiety-inducing, and unsuitable for diverse anatomical needs. Additionally, there is a gap in early, user-friendly detection of gynecological conditions. Our challenge is to revolutionize vaginal diagnostics by creating a flexible, patient-friendly device that enhances comfort, accessibility, and accuracy. By integrating advanced materials and digital health solutions, we aim to empower women with a seamless, stress-free diagnostic experience, improving early detection rates and overall healthcare outcomes.

We notice that teams in organisations are not harnessing the full potential of collaboration. Things like lack of vision and strategy, team misalignment, trust, defensiveness, and narcissism lead to reduced productivity and growth at best and destructive effects, at worst. Organisations and teams therefore suffer from underperformance and inefficiency, while also having members who are stressed, feeling disconnected, not feeling empowered, unable to be creative, and not feeling safe and included within their teams and organisations. Even if constructive conditions exist, collaborations still face hurdles to reach their full potential. This ultimately has an impact not only on the individuals, teams, and organisations, but on the society as a whole that would bear the costs of having members who are not thriving, happy and fulfilled.

The transition to sustainable mobility faces major obstacles, especially in the heavy transport sector. Current electric solutions, such as batteries, are often impractical for heavy-duty vehicles due to their limited range and long charging times. Additionally, hydrogen technology struggles with inefficiency and limited infrastructure, hindering large-scale adoption. The industry needs a powerful, efficient, and sustainable propulsion system that can be seamlessly integrated into existing transport and industrial networks.
