TU Delft Impact Contest
Playce
We live in a time where we are more connected than ever, yet many people, especially those new to a city, feel deeply alone. International students arrive somewhere new full of curiosity but without the social roots to act on it. They want to explore, try new things, and meet people nearby, but taking that first step feels awkward or overwhelming. There is a growing need for simple, low-pressure ways to get off your phone and into the world around you.

BTScout
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.

Pollinium
Pollination is responsible for one-third of the world's food supply, yet the data guiding it remains surprisingly primitive. Today, farmers and beekeepers rely almost entirely on manual observation and guesswork to understand how, where, and when pollination occurs across their land — a method that is slow, subjective, and fundamentally unscalable. This blind spot carries real consequences. Without reliable pollination data, farmers cannot optimize hive placement, identify underperforming zones, or make informed decisions that protect their yields. In fruit farming alone, poor pollination management translates directly into significant and largely preventable economic losses. At scale, the industry still operates without a practical, standardized solution for monitoring pollination in the field — leaving one of agriculture's most critical processes effectively unmeasured where it matters most.

Qrest
Musculoskeletal pain is the #1 cause of disability in the Netherlands, affecting ~50% of adults annually and costing insurers over €6.5 billion per year, projected to rise sharply with ageing. Yet care remains fragmented and reactive. Home exercise adherence is low due to lack of feedback and personalization. Access is uneven, with financial barriers for patients without supplementary insurance and long waitlists in specialised care. Early sessions are costly, while conservative prevention is underutilised. The result is poorer outcomes, relapse cycles, and escalating insurer spending on imaging, specialist visits, and surgery instead of scalable, preventive rehabilitation solutions.

Urban Explorer
Current urban exploration tools are either uninspiring or rely on commercialized, "grindy" AR mechanics that ignore local culture. This leaves solo and group explorers without a meaningful reason to engage with their surroundings. Urban Explorer fills this void by gamifying the discovery of local history and artisanal businesses. We address the lack of visibility for smaller cities and "mom-and-pop" shops, transforming routine walks into rewarding quests. By replacing forced social raids with organic, curiosity-driven challenges, we help users reclaim their neighborhoods as personal playgrounds of cultural discovery.

Lensym
Survey research has a usability problem. We're building Lensym, a survey research platform that fixes this. Not the kind of problem that shows up in user testing or heatmaps. The kind that surfaces three weeks into a longitudinal study, when you discover your branching logic doesn't work as intended. Or when you realize that collaborating with a colleague means emailing spreadsheets back and forth. Or when GDPR compliance requires you to manually pseudonymize data before export.

GymSense
Optimisation is a big deal in the fitness industry, professional weight lifters are always seeking to find the ideal path of motion to lift the most weight, and even more recreational gym goers pay special attention to improving their form. The current products and methods of tracking the velocity, acceleration, path of motion and more parameters of body parts and weights are either very imprecise or stupidly expensive, making them inaccessible for most people.

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.

The Curiosity Contest
The Dutch space industry is growing, and there is an increasing need for students, especially those from diverse academic backgrounds. Many students from those non-space disciplines are interested in working in the space sector and have ideas to improve the industry, but they do not know how to come in contact with it. There is currently a disconnect between the space industry and these students. They struggle to find each other, and we want to bridge the gap through our organization, The Curiosity Contest, by hosting a competition and fair that brings these two groups together.
