Beestar Key Info: Business description:

We offer hyper-precise kinematics technology to sports equipment providers, who want to enhance their products with centimetric position and kinematics.

We met while working at TomTom in different engineering departments and decided that between us we had the skills to be a dream-team that could develop a highly precise positioning system (indoor- and outdoor-positioning) and could build awesome products on top of it.

Market need: Due to the nature of our technology and service, Beestar can be positioned in four markets: 1) Sports; 2) Indoor-positioning; 3) Location aware services; 4) Industrial wireless sensor networks.

BuzzoekKey Info: Business description:

We connect merchants to shoppers via 10 million NFC cards. Extensive research has shown that an increase of just 2% in customer retention has the same impact on profits as a cost reduction of 10%. Large companies such as Albert Heijn and Starbucks understand this very well and have allocated large resources and tens of millions of Euros on customeracquisition andretention. We bring small and medium enterprises the same functionality as the big players.

We have a partnership agreement that gives us back-end access to the chip IDs of the 10 million public transportation cards (OV chipkaarten) already in the Dutch market today, which eliminates the distribution and market reach challenges on the consumer side.

Market need: Small and medium businesses are struggling to just make ends meet and are constantly looking for ways to improve their bottom line. We bring the functionality of the big players for a fraction of the cost, with virtually zero implementation effort and a smooth plug-n-play setup. There are over 750.000 small and medium businesses in the Netherlands alone, all of which could benefit from our product and service.

MedBip Key Info: Business description:

We address the non-adherence challenge (compliance): patients that don't take medication as prescribed. We have developed a simple and inexpensive device (< 5$). Our devices are fixed with a patented clip on a medicine box, patients don't have to do anything else than taking the medicine contained inside the box. The device will remember the right time and the right dose.

Market need: Some facts: 50% of patients don't take drugs as prescribed. Up to 80% of patients make errors in taking medication. 12% of hospital admissions are due to non-adherence of prescription. Medication non-adherence is responsible for $290 billion medical spending, in the U.S. alone. To the global pharmaceutical market, revenue loss is estimated to be $564 billion, or 59% of the $956 billion in total global pharmaceutical revenue.

Key Info: Business description:We will disrupt the payment industry by providing merchants with an integrated loyalty and payment solution, leading to an increase in revenue. Using QR and NFC tags as a way to secure the transaction between a merchant and a consumer.

Market need:We solve 3 pain points: firstly customer retention, because merchants don’t see a return visit from 47% of their customers. We also address misaligned marketing efforts, due to a lack of knowledge of the customer base resulting in wasted investments. Lastly we increase mobile presence, because most retail and restaurant merchants have no mobile presence, but it is critical to be active in the mobile market to attract a Gen-Y and millennial customer base.

QReca!Key Info: Business description:

We’ve created a tool for building mobile web applications. It provides a user-friendly interface and the main characteristic is that it hides all technical details. It is thus appropriate for users with no IT skills. The basic feature of the platform is the presentation of information that is combined with extra functionality. One can think of QReca! as an empty canvas, where a user can place various micro components we provide. The application can be triggered via a QR Code, a NFC tag, GPS signal etc. Moreover, the user may change the information and the functionalities that are associated with an app without the need of reestablishing the access channel (e.g. reprinting the QR Code). Eg: Joomla for NFC/QR Tags.

Market need: Using a QR code or NFC chip, one could share a ton of info. But when you want to change that information, you used to have to renew that QR code which is time-consuming and expensive. We solve this pain with our platform. The platform can be useful to many markets, but we started to target the markets of Retail, Product Producers, Museums/Exhibitions, Advertising Firms and Real Estate.

We put the ‘fast’ back in fast food! No need to wait for an order to be taken, simply order and pay with a tap on your NFC phone and skip the line.

Market need:We are tackling the line-up situation and improving operations by widening the sales bottleneck. That is, alleviating the order-taking-burden from the few cashiers behind the counter. In addition, we add speed to drive-through restaurants by streamlining ordering and payment, allowing customers to stop only at the pick-up window. In short, we aim to increase order throughput inbound and sales, by retaining customers that would walk-away from long line-ups.
