Educational curriculums are rather narrow minded in that not enough artistic courses or aspects of art are being taught to children and students. Multidisciplinarity is key when it comes to innovation. The value of art and its disciplines can often be undermined or underestimated in solving societal problems or tackling challenges specific to a sector.

According to the UN, the world must cut carbon emissions by 50% from 2010 by 2030 and achieve net-zero economies by 2050. The 2021 Tracking SDG7 Energy Progress Report states that today's rate of progress is insufficient. The world is not on track to achieve SDG 7. Companies need to adopt a 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy strategy that will help them understand their energy data portfolio to proactively eliminate carobon emissions in the grid. Hyper wants to tackle the proble of reducing corporations' emissions associated with electricity/energy consumtion (Scope 2) to help reach carbon neutrality. Electricity metering data is the new “gold” of the energy transition in terms of being able to run a 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy procurement strategy. However, obtaining access to such data is not easy: expensive investments and high maintenance costs for hardware devices, data interfaces as well as tedious negotiations with electricity suppliers are some of the traditional barriers.

In the current housing market international students are largely underserved as they often start off in a vulnerable position. Especially, newcomers who need to find accomodation before coming to Rotterdam oftentimes need to pay a hefty premium to receive housing. The fact that the housing supply is severely constrained also adds to the problem. Housing platforms usually only provide rudimentary information on the apartment, omitting any profiles of the current residents, as they can afford keeping this subpar quality in a market of great demand. This lack of transparancy not only causes the international students tremendous uncertainty, it also leads to bad accomodation decisions which a lot of students regret in hindsight.

When people want to split a bill at a some place (e.g. a restaurant), usually a single person has to pay as a lot of places do not offer to split the bill. Someone has to defray the costs for the entire group. This places a big burden on this person and this person has to make sure he receives his money.
