The world is constantly changing and we are sure that in 30 years it will look very different from today. Modern technologies, which are developing faster than any other area, especially ICT, are making an enormous contribution to this. It remains to be seen what innovations will be coming in the future. Which of these technical features do you already use, and which not yet?
ICT determines our lives. What was not so long ago a luxury that not everyone could afford as well as the idea that we are all networked and interwoven worldwide at all times is now taken for granted. The Internet in particular is an accelerator for processes, ideas and change, not least in the achievement of all the SDGs. Target C of SDG 9 asks for universal access to ICTs, particularly in least developed countries.

Opportunity:
Supporting the environment through recycling is one of the most important endeavours in our time. However, to many people, recycling is tedious, inconvenient, unrewarding, and sometimes not economically feasible.
Solution:
A startup can specialize in reverse vending systems and recycling, and come up with a convenient way to recycle used beverage containers. Specifically, a reverse vending machine can be invented where users can simply insert used plastic bottles or cans inside the machine and the machine will automatically identify, sort, collect, and process the inserted items.
The machine then rewards the users for returning the empty bottles and cans with money back or discount voucher or any other incentives. This innovation can be transformed in many ways to recycle used glass, plastic, cartons, paper and light bulbs.
Opportunity:
Although shrimp waste can be put to several uses, it is often left to rot in landfills or gets thrown in rivers and oceans. The waste fertilizes the plant life in rivers, causing mass growth and blockages.
Solution:
To combat the problems posed by shrimp shell waste, the waste can be refined into Alpha Chitosan, a chemical that can be used as a non-carcinogenic fertilizer in addition to 240 other industries. As a fertilizer, it can increase the yield up to 120%.
