SkyRescue
Emergency situations such as fires, earthquakes, floods, and collapsed buildings often leave victims trapped in hard-to-reach or hazardous environments. Current response methods rely heavily on human teams and ground-based equipment, which are slow, risky, and sometimes unable to deliver life-saving aid quickly. Delays in locating victims and providing critical supplies reduce survival chances and increase danger for both victims and responders. There is a clear need for a rapid, adaptive, and airborne system that can reach inaccessible areas, assess the situation, and provide immediate support to save lives.

Aerial delivery has been discussed for a long time, but significant advancements in this technology have yet to be made. Aerial delivery is particularly useful for reaching hard-to-access areas, such as islands and deserts. However, the current challenge is that the costs often outweigh the benefits. At present, drones are the most viable option, but they do not justify their price given their limited range and flight time. The issue is not with the power source; rather, it's that drones must generate both thrust and lift from their rotors, which makes them inefficient.

Driving students often repeat the same mistakes during lessons because feedback is mostly verbal and moment-based. After a lesson, students struggle to remember exactly what went wrong, when it happened, and why. Instructors also lack structured tools to document mistakes, track progress over time, and identify recurring patterns. This leads to inefficient learning, longer training periods, higher lesson costs, and increased stress for both students and instructors.

Bij werkzaamheden aan dijken en spoorleidingen ontbreekt vaak voldoende inzicht in wat er onder en rondom de grond gebeurt. Dit brengt risico’s met zich mee voor de veiligheid, het monitoren van de infrastructuur en de planning van graafwerkzaamheden. Daarnaast kunnen dieren zoals bevers en dassen worden verstoord of raken hun burchten beschadigd, wat zowel ecologische als logistieke problemen veroorzaakt voor dijk- en spoorbeheerders.

Electric bikes are becoming increasingly popular, but they still have several major barriers: High cost – Many electric bikes are too expensive for students, young adults, and people on a budget. Limited customization – Users cannot easily customize their e-bike to match their needs or preferences. Complex assembly – Converting or assembling an electric bike yourself can be difficult without the right system or guidance. Battery concerns – Users worry about battery life, performance, and reliability. Security risks – Bike theft is common, and many bikes lack integrated GPS tracking systems. Lack of integration with smartphones – Many bikes do not offer a simple mobile app to track location, battery life, or performance. These barriers prevent many people from accessing sustainable electric transportation.

Routly
Supply chains are under real pressure right now. Geopolitical uncertainty is making operations unstable, and costs keep rising. Every extra mile costs money. Also no vehicle route planning platform on the market can do real-time reoptimization today. That's a gap we're excited to close.

Europe's 500,000+ km of powerlines, 230,000 km of managed waterways, and hundreds of thousands of kilometres of pipelines and rail require regular inspection to prevent failures. Current methods such as ground patrols, manned helicopters, and short-range quadcopters are expensive, infrequent, and leave significant monitoring gaps. Helicopters cost ~€20,000/flight hour; quadcopters are limited to 20–40 km range and under one hour of endurance, requiring constant redeployment and on-site pilots. The result: inspections occur just 2–5 times per year, driven by cost rather than operational need, leaving critical infrastructure under-monitored between visits.

E2 Engine
Heavy duty vehicles being only 4% of the transportation market contribute to more than 25% of the global emissions. With existing solutions for light vehicles not applicable for the heavy duty market, a new architecture is needed to meet zero emission targets without compromising operational demands. But achieving zero emission targets isn’t a day’s work, and therefore needs a solution that can adhere to the future changes and challenges to the advances in the types fuels. Hydrogen today. Synthetic fuels tomorrow and the industry can’t afford to reinvent propulsion everytime.
