Submission Template
For the elaboration of the use cases within the Innovate 2030 project, a common submission template is available. This template will help you to structure your ideas and approaches and to find answers to all relevant questions.
In addition to this submission template, you will find specific requirements and guiding questions for your use case in the "Guiding Questions" tab, which you need to consider when preparing your submission.
You can also complement your submission with prototypes, pitch decks, image and video materials, higher-level concepts, or specific use case-related instruments – simply submit these documents along with the submission template via our platform.
The goal is that through this approach (submission template, guiding questions and optional documents), solutions within the overall project can cover a broad spectrum: From concrete digital product ideas to higher-level visions.
Guiding questions
- How are liquid and pasty food products being packed right now? Why are they been packed up this way? What are important properties for the packaging of liquid and pasty food products? What is essential?
- What would be a good way to packaging more sustainable for this kind of products?
- What legal standards must be considered? What is the legal frame for selling liquid and pasty food products – use by dates, cool-chain, …?
- What material is your solution made of? How be it recycled/disposed in a sustainable way? Why is it better, in an ecological and optimally economic sense, than its recent methods?
- How can it be used in mass-packaging-processes?
- Can you test your solution with a prototype? What did you learn from testing it? Can it still be improved? What potential does your solution have for other applications?
