Battery-free safety light: Especially in the winter months, when the days get shorter, safety measures on the way to school or work are very important. 
Due to the cold, the batteries of the previous safety lights are quickly discharged, which is particularly bad for the environment. This problem is solved by kinetic energy generation. This means that our safety light is always ready for use, regardless of the environment. In contrast to similar suppliers, we offer not only a simple safety light, but also customised solutions. Customers have the option of integrating the light into their products. In addition, our light can generate not only a flashing but also a permanent light signal and can therefore be used as a torch.

Our idea is to use popcorn to produce a sustainable floor that is heat and sound insulating thanks to its natural properties. By popping the maize, a material with a low density is created and the volume is increased enormously. The floor can therefore be sold at a lower price than standard floor coverings. Another advantage over conventional parquet and cork flooring is the cultivation. The oak used for parquet flooring takes 180 years to grow. Cork grows on the tree within 9-10 years. Corn, on the other hand, can significantly undercut this, as it only needs 5 months to grow. The floor is to be produced regionally here in Germany, and the corn is also to be bought and processed by local farmers. The popcorn floor not only has personal or regional advantages, but also protects the environment and conserves resources.

Every year, 3000 tonnes of pesticides are applied to German vineyards, the residues of which can be detected in the wine. Grape leaf diseases reduce the quantity and quality of the grapes and require the use of pesticides. By using AI, we make it possible to identify pests in diseased vine leaves at an early stage using mobile phone images. Early action can minimise the spread of pests, reduce the use of pesticides and protect the environment.
