TU Delft Impact Contest
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.

Project vegapunk
3D-printers en 3D-scanners werken vaak met verschillende programma’s en vereisen specialistische kennis. Hierdoor is het voor mensen zonder technische achtergrond moeilijk om snel objecten te ontwerpen, aan te passen en te printen. Er ontbreekt een toegankelijk systeem waarin scanning, ontwerpen en AI-ondersteuning samenkomen.

Drone Autonomous Service Hub
Drones are a mature technology with numerous applications, however we are yet to see them reach the scale of usage of cars or planes. This expansion is severely limited by batteries, which require manual replacement and take long to recharge. The need to replace or recharge drones with human intervention leads to a high downtime between operating cycles and limits the expansion of operations severely. Just like we have highways for trucks, harbors for ships and airports for planes, we believe now is the time to build the world's first dedicated drone infrastructure system.

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.

Buoyant Industries
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.
