Engineering students at TU Delft often work underpaid jobs that don’t utilize their full technical skills, while startups and small tech companies struggle to find affordable, highly skilled talent for short-term engineering tasks.

Hotel operations depend on legacy PMS software that is slow, fragmented, and hard to use. Everyday tasks like check-ins, room changes, billing, and guest requests require navigating multiple screens and workflows. This creates errors, slows down staff during peak hours, and increases training time when new employees start. The software dictates how people work instead of supporting how hotels actually operate

We are planning on making a VTOL aircraft that can carry a payload. What we currently have in mind is having a tilt rotor, which allows for vertical lift off and then a propeller plane-like efficiency (for example, V22 Osprey). But the problem with them is that they tend to be very unstable in the transition phase, with pilot-induced oscillations being a major issue. Also, there is an extra aerodynamic complexity with rotors affecting the flow over the wing. Having to carry an extra payload will imply strong rotors and, hence, more structural complexity.

Cognitive health is an increasingly critical concern. More than 55 million people live with dementia, a number expected to nearly double by 2050, with Alzheimer’s disease accounting for 60–70% of cases. While age is the strongest risk factor, especially after 65, cognitive decline is not a normal part of aging. Moreover, memory loss can also result from traumatic brain injuries, strokes, or other medical conditions, affecting people across different ages. Declining cognitive health significantly impacts daily functioning, making it difficult to manage quotidian tasks. Addressing these challenges requires effective, accessible solutions that support memory, safety, and autonomy in everyday life.
