Platform Eerlijk Wonen

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.

Since its launch, WASTED has proven itself as an important enterprise, not only accelerating environmentally conscious action and sustainable consumption but demonstrating itself as a scalable solution to increase household recycling rates.

The Great Bubble Barrier

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

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.

Disrubt

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

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 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

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.
