CupLe

CupLe wrote: We are cuple, read as couple. There is a reason for it. We create a new, smart, circular eco-system where single use packaging becomes obsolete. We make a smart machine and a smart bottle (yes, they work in pair). We create a smart bottle that can be a cup and a bottle (cuple again!). . And we want to couple business and responsibility of both consumers and producers. We aim to create our bottle mainly of retrieved and recycled plastics and/or metal, we are designing a low-energy consuming, recyclable and modular smart vending machine, and a back-end that will support you to seamlessly take any drink with your bottle. Imagine that your bottle is your wallet, and our machine is your fountain... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

The vaporettoproposes a cultural visit where the visitor educates himself through different activities (in our case in venice). Several immersive rooms inside the boat offers to the visitor interactive games. The vaporetto is self-powered by solar and kinetic energy. This energy can be used by other boats working in the venetian territory. Our overall goal is offering to visitors the opportunity to discover new places around venice, minimizing the visitors flow and allowing other boats to use our energy to charge themselves...

CrowdRide

The CrowdRide wrote: The system would itself recalculate the transfers so that the passenger could reach the desired destination as quickly as possible. Of course, public transport could be integrated into the system right from the start, and it can be upgraded to freight services. The goal is to bring the speed and usability of the transport as close as possible when using our own vehicle. Users appear in the system in two roles - as a passenger and as a driver. The driver was willing to share the vacant seats in his car, and the passenger had to route the system through those seats in a number of public transports to the rail destinations. The ideal user uses both roles. For interaction between passenger and driver is by smartphone application... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Crop based construction blocks

Industrial Nature wrote: The company has researched and developed three types of insulating crop-based construction blocks. These are unique in that they both insulate, store heat, provide structure and passively regulate temperature and humidity - all with local and natural materials. They outperform conventional insulation materials and have a better than zero carbon footprint due to the carbon sequestration in the crop-based aggregate. They. Are also better than zero waste because they can be reprocessed or recycled at end of life. They are designed to positively disrupt the global mainstream building sector...
