Platform Eerlijk Wonen

In the Netherlands social housing comes with large waiting lists, with Amsterdam being right at the forefront: up to 20 years. At the same time up to 20% of those houses are subject to tenancy fraud. This specific kind of fraud impedes honest housing allocation, next to the associated financial damage, which is up to 11 million euros every year.

Platform Eerlijk Wonen strives to have 95% correct housing data for our clients, being both corporations and private owners. We work on this goal by optimizing the fraud detection process with the use of big data analytics and technology. All this with respect for the privacy of tenants.

Creatives Across

Noise nuisance can be pretty annoying!

In a growing, crowded and thriving city like Amsterdam, we live and recreate right next to each other.

At times this can be challenging, we need to make sure we aren’t annoying each other while still being able to do the stuff we love.

Most of the times, research showed us, the different stakeholders involved aren’t aware of the noise they’re making. This, in turn, causes miscommunications and frustrations.

Very unnecessary, if you ask us.

Originated by design studio Creatives Across Network, in the situation of restaurant and cafe terraces, the SHHH (See How Households Hear) offers a solution, where noise-makers and noise-receivers are made aware of the potential nuisance and are influenced to change their behaviour.

WASTEDlab

WASTED is a locally-rooted initiative that breaks away from linearity and accelerates the transition to circular city making.

The Great Bubble Barrier

The plastic soup in the oceans grows with 8 billion kilo’s every day, and the majority of this plastic comes from land. We want to stop the plastic in the Amsterdam canals from flowing into the North Sea. The Great Bubble Barrier blocks plastic in rivers and canals while allowing passage for ships and fish.

The Great Bubble Barrier is a bubble curtain that is diagonally placed in the canal and guides plastic to the side using the existing current, where we remove it. This year we successfully piloted a Bubble Barrier in the lab and river IJssel with Rijkswaterstaat, Deltares and BAM/vdHerik.

Global Guide Systems

We quickly move towards a connected society, where almost everything is connected to the internet. This creates exciting new opportunities that will change and improve our way of living.

Global Guide Systems wants to be part of that and creates smart solutions with data that is most of the time already there, just waiting to be used in a smart way.

Our idea is that we can use this technology to deal with the vastly growing traffic on the Amsterdam canals. By using signals that are transmitted by all commercial boats, in combination with the already existing sensor infrasturcture of Waternet, we believe that we can contribute to the improvement of the traffic flows and safety on the canals. Boat users can see where the commercial boats are in real-time and Waternet has a better overview of the current situation on the canals, focussed on the few difficult areas in the city. This possibility becomes even more powerful when Waternet is also able to influence the behaviour of canal users, by using dynamic signs to control the traffic flows, in the same way as we are used to on the road.

Van Plestik

Plastic waste generates huge problems around the world, for both men and nature. By using waste plastic as building material for our 3D printers we are enabling the local reuse of plastic waste.

In the Netherlands we can transform waste into unique, high-grade and affordable plastic objects like furniture and parts for the local industry.

Worldwide we want to reduce the global plastic problem by enabling and creating local industries, far from conventional recycling facilities, to collect and transform the plastic waste into new objects.

Disrubt

We make bicycle crates out of used bicycle inner tubes. The result is a “cradle to cradle” bicycle crate that is both unique and practical as it makes it much easier to park your bike.

Since the turn of the century, the bike crate has been a colourful part of our street scene. You see converted beer crates, wooden crates or ‘borrowed’ shopping baskets on bikes at every turn. Bicycle crates are the welcome successors of the old fashioned “granny-image” pannier.
The problem comes when a cyclist needs to find a place to park a bike as these crates are a big parking hindrance, especially for fellow cyclists. The design of bike racks typically does not account for bicycle crates. Other parked bikes need to be pushed away before a bike with static crate can be parked.

At DISRUBT, we develop a flexible bicycle crate. One that not only secures your stuff for easy transport but also moulds itself within the limited space of available parking spot. The flexible crate is handmade from recycled inner tubes which gives the crate its unique look and feel.

Wander

Everybody likes a good story. But where to find one? Evolving from following the stars into the apps on your phone today, navigation is of all ages. And be honest, how often do you catch yourself looking down at your screen instead of experiencing what’s around you? Wander Technologies builds devices that bring the wonder back to wandering. Their technology frees you from digital distractions, making the journey your destination.

Our first product is a smart connected compass that points to your next destination and shows the remaining distance. Combined with an easy-to-use platform and app for adding waypoints, users can wander the city more freely. This ‘fuzzy navigation’ will challenge city dwellers to leave the beaten track and discover new routes and places. Our devices will directly lead to a wider action radius for the visitors of Amsterdam and a more valuable experience of the city.

Gamatec

Gamatec develops pyrolysis technologies that convert organic waste into energy and the CO2 trapping material Biochar. We want to use our carbon negative waste-to-energy and waste-to-biochar solution to reduce the carbon footprint of organic waste management, energy production, and the many sectors that can make use of Biochar.

Gamatec is also involved in the development of applications for Biochar starting with a proprietary formula for pollution reducing Biochar cement – that traps CO2, regulates moisture, is flame resistant without toxic chemicals and polymers, and radically absorbs and filters pollutants like NO2 and NOx from the air surrounding structures made of Biochar cement.

City Makers

With a smart bike called ‘Smart Fiets’ City Makers proposes to end the problem of abandoned bicycles in Amsterdam and enhance the efficiency of the city’s bicycle collection system.

The bicycle collection system will be enhanced by separating between soft bikes (abandoned and neglected bikes with almost or no value) and hard bikes (long-term parked or wrongly parked bikes). Additionally, citizen’s engagement will be improved by providing a mechanism for citizens to report abandoned bikes with the Smart Fiets App in three small steps. The Smart Fiets App improves the transparency of the bicycle collection system to citizens by providing a way to register their bicycles and a service that allows users to check whether their bicycle has been transferred to the bicycle depot in case of loss. Lastly, City Makers aims to build a central bicycle collection management system: Smart Fiets Manager is a centralized IT solution for all stakeholders involved in the abandoned bicycle system. All bicycles introduced in the system by citizens, Handhaving or Smart Fiets collectors will go to the Smart Fiets Manager back-end system, a database shared by all actors.

Cities will reach their sustainability goals faster and residents are actively involved in improving their environment regarding five themes: mobility, shared economy, waste, energy and food.

My Clean City

My Clean City App is working together with the municipality of The Hague on some of the waste solutions the city is facing. Prashant founder of the startup always felt close to his hometown community back when he was living in India. People looked after each other and there is lots of interaction. Prashant states: ‘Having now called The Hague my home for nearly nine years, I have yet to experience this community closeness and I miss it. I thought of an idea that connects neighbors and simultaneously tackles a challenge the municipality of The Hague faces: waste on the streets. We’re working together on a solution that involves an app that helps neighbors to communicate with each other and motivates them to act on their increasing sense of responsibility toward the environment. It provides the necessary information about waste collection and it allows you to notify your neighbors and the municipality when the (ORAC) containers are full or clogged. If you want to get rid of still usable items you can easily offer it to your neighbors using the app. By sharing information about trash and reusable items, the app will let neighbors connect and work together for a cleaner city!’

The Next Green Thing

‘The Next Green Thing’ is an app that empowers people to design their own solar-green roof in a few clicks. Solar panel and green roof designs are often dictated by suppliers.

One Stop Shop Tool

Startup One Stop Shop will design an application that helps house owners to assess the need for energy efficiency measures in their homes. In addition, it will motivate house owners to reduce their CO2 footprint by illustrating the economic value of the home improvements. The app will also show the different subsidy options offered by various organizations. This is useful as this information is often scattered across different sources. Ultimately, the application will offer a full-package service for the specific measures so that the barriers of making a house energy efficient will be reduced. Hala feels that “homes have great meaning for us, home is where we belong”. Hala lost her home due to the war in Syria. She states “Losing my home in Damascus has made me realize that ‘home’ has such great meaning. I had no home to go to until I arrived in The Hague. I arrived uprooted and tired from the losses of war. Looking after our homes gives meaning to our lives. It is not a business, but my passion.”

Driven To Impact

Startup Driven To Impact is looking to solve the complex puzzle that surrounds healthcare in the Netherlands. The startup has experienced that information with regard to healthcare is often scattered and inaccessible especially for those who are in need of it the most. Dennis states “Thanks to our excellent healthcare system, we have a tremendous amount of resources. Unfortunately, the people that truly need it, often don’t know how to find it”. The startup Driven To Impact will collect essential information on health care provided in the Netherlands. Their plan is to create a platform which will be a central place for information on health care, as well as easy accessible and user friendly. This will not only benefit those in need of care and their direct environment, but it will also have a great impact on the economy as care can be provided more efficiently.

As such, Anke feels there are lots of missed-opportunities to connect, network and share knowledge with one another within this area. Anke’s goal is to make the Beatrixkwartier a happier and more interesting place to work and do business. The application will connect the existing hubs and increase visibility of events and activities that take place in the area.

This area hosts lots of events and could benefit a lot from the solutions the startup has to offer. Avenieuw aims to recommend certain mitigation measures to minimize the traffic impact. To make the information accessible to both citizens and stakeholders the start-up will connect the platform to existing apps and websites, such as social media. In addition, traffic related apps will be able to integrate with our platform.

Datacrunch

Afgelopen februari zijn wij begonnen met de challenge online kindermisbruik. De reden waarom het ministerie deze challenge in het leven heeft geblazen is omdat online kindermisbruik een enorm groeiend probleem is. Steeds vaker worden kinderen online misbruikt en in sommige gevallen zelfs leidend tot fysiek misbruik. DataCrunch wil een applicatie gaan bouwen dat een groot gedeelte van dit probleem kan voorkomen. Samen met het ministerie gaan wij kijken wat de verschillende belangen zijn voor zowel kinderen, ouders, officiële instanties en partners. Wij willen gaan werken naar een oplossing dat zowel ouders als kinderen op de hoogte stelt op het moment dat er ongepast online chat verkeer plaatsvindt op populaire social media kanalen. Momenteel zijn wij hard aan het werk om obstakels te kunnen oplossen. Hierbij kan gedacht worden aan onder andere privacy gerelateerde issues en de manier waarop ouders/kinderen geïnformeerd en geholpen kunnen worden. Wij zien echter veel partijen die hier enorm veel goeds en potentie inzien. Ons streven is een mooie demo to presenteren op demo-day!

VOUW

Challenge: Vibrant city squares

VOUW is a design innovation studio based in Amsterdam. VOUW is developing physical installations to get people off their phone to increase connections.

Research shows that smartphones increase loneliness, as meeting with friends physically is less and less necessary. This is true especially for teens, but the trend is seen within every age group.

To get people to interact more, VOUW is developing Chairwave. This is a row of chairs in the public space that ‘forces’ people to sit next to each other. People can only sit on the chairs next to where someone else is sitting. Combining data and design, Chairwave is a social experiment aiming to create more conversations amongst different people.

Helpr

Challenge: Smart school choice

Helpr is specialized in chatbots that interact with adolescents. At this moment we are creating chatbots that can answer simple questions from students about several courses, such as Physics. The chatbots are didactic, so they will not only provide answers to students’ questions but they will challenge students to learn more, better and more efficient. Moreover, the chatbot will test them to see if they have reached the right level of knowledge.

We want to use his technique to help children choose the right study. With the municipality of Diemen, Almere, Amsterdam and Haarlemmermeer we want to explore if online communication with an advanced chatbot can help students to make better decisions about further education. In this process we will have the chatbot consider the prospects of which jobs will be available in the future, so students can make an educated choice, combining their own interests and future job availability.
