Brave new food – Supporting technologies for healthier food and diets
Fecha de vencimiento: 14-09-2021
In this Open Call theme, we are looking novel supporting technological and scientific solution that will help the transition to healthier food, diets and society. For example: Solutions for (easy) measurements of food intake and health status. Modelling, data science and artificial intelligence solutions for fact or science-based food (production) choices. Digital platforms like apps and tools (e.g. for personalized food, influencing behavior). Development of tests to assess the health impact of food (ingredients), e.g. gut simulation, stress or challenge tests. Chemical or biological technology platforms e.g. to develop alternative substitutes for unhealthy nutrients.

Fecha de vencimiento: 31-08-2021Impact Canada – Housing supply Challenge: Round 2 – Getting started
Fecha de vencimiento: 25-08-2021
The Housing Supply Challenge (HSC) invites citizens, stakeholders, and experts from across Canada to propose innovative solutions to the barriers that limit the creation of new housing. $300 million in funding is available through the various rounds of the Challenge, resulting in new ideas and solutions that will help more people find an affordable place to call home. The challenge objectives are to: - Address barriers to housing supply and affordability. - Enhance community engagement. - Inspire others to scale or adapt ideas for “Canada-wide impact”. - Cultivate collaboration and partnerships. - The Challenge will also provide a platform to share these innovative solutions, acting as a catalyst for others to take action.

Fecha de vencimiento: 15-10-2021IBERDROLA- STARTUP CHALLANGE: MICRO-MOBILITY
Fecha de vencimiento: 31-07-2021
Transport is responsible for a quarter of global CO2 emissions and a large part of pollution in urban environments. For this reason, its electrification is the only way to address both problems with a common origin through electric vehicles, which improve energy use and efficiency. Currently, the electrification of road transport, particularly in urban areas, involves the penetration of Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMVs) such as bicycles, scooters and electric motorbikes. Mobility in this type of vehicle is not only more efficient and environmentally friendly, but also greatly helps to relieve congestion in cities during heavy traffic, therefore helping to improve air quality. Related to this, Iberdrola is looking for parking, storage and charging solutions for micro-mobility that favour the electrification of urban transport. Apply for the Startup Challenge by 31 July to develop a pilot project & to be considered for further investment.
XPRIZE – Carbon Removal
Fecha de vencimiento: 26-07-2021
This Challenge is requesting new design solutions for biologically based sensors for use in water systems that can detect the activation of one or more human toxicity pathways. Toxicity pathways are the perturbations to normal biological processes that occur due to exposure to a stressor, such as a chemical, that has the potential to lead to adverse health effects. Although the sensor might not identify a specific contaminant/toxin, it should be able to measure or quantitate the level of activation of one or more toxicity pathways when the sensor is exposed to water that contains relevant amounts of contaminants/toxins targeting the pathway(s). The solution should be less costly, more efficient, and more rapid than current methods for water toxicity analysis. This Theoretical Challenge is Stage 1; there is the potential for Stage 2, which would consist of a Challenge to produce a prototype.
GE – Powering Taiwan’s Growth with innovation
Fecha de vencimiento: 31-08-2021
The recent restart of the Taichung (coal-fired) Power Plant Unit 2 has created some concerns about power shortages and air pollution, along with the best ways to save energy. According to the Taiwan Power Company, Taiwan’s electricity consumption on June 24, 2020 came to 37,169.5 MW, setting a new record. How can the government mobilize its citizens to save electricity and reduce peak loads to achieve the goal of reducing thermal or nuclear power plants? CHALLENGE OPTION 1 Provide innovative ideas to increase electricity supply and decarbonize Taiwan’s power sector CHALLENGE OPTION 2 Present solutions to reduce energy demand/consumption in Taiwan
