Submissions closedESG Impact Dashboard - Transparency on funding social housing and communities
BayernLB / BayernLabo is looking for innovative partners to design a future-oriented ESG/KPI dashboard that makes the impact of funding for social housing and communities transparent, comparable and forward-looking. The goal: better indicators, better visualisation and a clearer understanding of how funding contributes to sustainability from different stakeholder perspectives. Both conceptual and technical approaches are welcome.
Who can participate?
This challenge is open to a broad range of innovators, including:
- startups & scaleups working on ESG, analytics, data modelling or visualization
- research teams in sustainability, data science, public policy or impact measurement
- specialised consultancies with experience in ESG/SDG logic, indicators or dashboard design
- tech providers capable of building adaptable prototypes or data structures
Executive Summary
Challenge in one sentence
Designing a new, future-oriented ESG/KPI dashboard (concept) that enables BayernLabo to better understand, manage and communicate the impact of its public funding — by developing improved indicator logic, data structures and visualisations from different stakeholder perspectives.
Why-This-Matters
BayernLabo already reports transparently on its funding activities, but today’s formats are static, retrospective and fragmented across multiple documents. A more integrated and future oriented dashboard would strengthen decision-making, improve stakeholder communication (management, ministries, public), unlock a clearer picture of how BayernLabo already contributes to societal and sustainability goals and enhance targeted funding for meaningful impact.
Solution-Space
The objective is to explore concepts, models and dashboard prototypes from different stakeholders perspective that build on but, should not be limited to BayernLabo’s existing SDG mapping and available public data. No fully developed software is required — conceptual clarity, methodological depth, data availability and compelling visualization are key.
Why-Participate
This challenge offers innovators the opportunity to collaborate directly with BayernLabo as a German development bank on a real, high-impact ESG/KPI use case. Participants benefit from:
- a potential pathway into a paid partnership/ co-development, where concepts are further developed together with BayernLabo
- the opportunity to become an implementation or long-term technology partner, depending on fit and strategic relevance
- a strong reference within the BayernLB Group, the German development banking landscape and the public-sector banks, increasing visibility and credibility
- direct access to BayernLabo experts, including SDG methodology, reporting logic and stakeholder insights
In short: a chance to shape a future ESG data management solution with a major public institution — and to open the door to continued collaboration.
