👨⚕️ Thom Weustink and Dieuwertje Drexhage have encountered the impracticality of using medical equipment, originally designed for high-income countries, in the #GlobalSouth. These devices are manufactured using disposable parts, rendering them costly to maintain and repair due to their reliance on expendable materials. In Low- and Middle-Income Countries, this results in common procedures becoming complex and difficult to perform. 🔬 Motivated by a commitment to equality, Thom and Dieuwertje founded LAYCO Medical Devices. They made a conscious decision: "We will not design for waste; but we will innovate for sustainability and accessibility," Thom asserts. Their innovation, the Vela®, addresses these challenges, offering a solution for safe deliveries worldwide that is both #sustainable and #accessible. 🗣 In a recent TEDX Talk, Thom shares their story: https://lnkd.in/eaC9szpN #Equality #Healthcare #HealthcareInnovation Delft University of Technology | TU Delft | Mechanical Engineering | TEDX | TEDxAmsterdam | LUMC Global | Jenny Dankelman | Jan Carel Diehl | Maarten Brouwer

"It is our mission to restore Arctic sea ice to counter global warming. We do this by pumping water from underneath the ice, on top of the ice, to make it freeze faster and have more reflective ice in summer. So, that sounds like a crazy plan, right?" Fonger Ypma With a bold ambition that could reshape the future of our planet, founder Fonger's mission is to restore the Arctic sea ice and counteract the effects of climate change. Fonger proposes a visionary solution: thickening the ice in winter by strategically pumping sea water on top of it in key locations across the Arctic Sea.

“I was sitting in a hair salon seeing piles of hair being swept into the bin. I couldn't stop thinking. What can we do with all that hair?” - Zsofia Kollar From that moment in the hair salon, was the start of Zsofia's mission to create a true textile revolution.
