Future of smart inventory for turbine components
Manufacturers of wind turbines are operating worldwide offering their services far beyond sales - such as maintenance or repair services. However, the turbines are distributed worldwide and are therefore maintained by different providers. Thus, General Electric is looking for digital solutions to provide a digital-mappable inventory of the manufacturer's wind turbine fleet components that have been installed and modified in recent years, as well as a long-term system to have real-time and up-to-date turbine component information.

More Sustainable Surfactants for Home & Personal Cleaning Products
Surfactants are at the center of our efforts to drive the sustainable transformation of our raw materials. It’s a key ingredient for detergents and shampoos as well as provides dirt and grease-removing power. However, many surfactants today are fossil-based, which is not renewable, or derived from natural inputs whose sourcing has secondary, negative impacts. We are calling on creative minds in the market to help us find new, sustainable ingredients that are based on natural raw materials that optimize environmental, economic and social impacts. We are committed to pursuing sustainable and purposeful growth, and we would be excited to have you join us to strive for a more sustainable future.

Sustainable Construction in Rural Regions
Sustainable and green construction is one of the most relevant areas in which sustainable concepts need to be introduced and applied. However, in rural areas, this trend is not very advanced, because the whole focus often lies on urban development. Therefore, RWZ concentrates on rural development and within the framework of this challenge aims to find solutions on how to implement green and sustainable concepts for construction and energy supply in rural areas.

Enabling green transition
Climate protection and thus the issue of sustainability have become increasingly prevalent in recent years and play an ever-greater role in business and society. Credit institutions have been assigned a central role in the green transformation, as financing decisions have a direct influence on investment decisions and money flows. Banks can thus be seen as catalysts in the transformation of an economy. Accordingly, Haspa's wants you to help them deal more actively with the topic of sustainability as well as climate protection.

Future of sustainable energy concepts
The increasing climatic challenges as well as political geo-crises have an ever more immense influence on energy consumption. Sustainable energy concepts and renewable energies can efficiently counteract these challenges. However, this requires innovative and intelligent solutions that ensure the development of sustainable, implementable and climate-friendly energy concepts by processing complex data sets.
