We have a winner!
We are very happy to announce that the idea ‘Establishing a zero emission Handysize Bulkcarrier’ by Peter Gast Shipping GmbH has won the Design Sprint Days.
As a prize a selection of our designers and engineers will work together with them for five days in a Design Sprint, with the aim of developing a rapid ‘protoype’ to demonstrate the feasibility. We look forward to working together on this exciting project!
Design sprint competition
Different types of ideas were eligible to enter the competition. Ranging from for example new ship concepts to new process, to new services, to new equipment. The winner has been selected by ranking the potential of the various ideas to fundamentally and radically change the shipping or shipbuilding industry with respect to one or more of the following aspects:
- Sustainability / energy transition / emission reduction;
- Bringing shipbuilding back to the North (of the Netherlands);
- The changing role of the human factor in shipping / autonomous shipping.
Design Sprint Explained
The idea behind the Design Sprint is to build a (digital) prototype in just five days to demonstrate the feasibility of your idea or concept and give a preliminary answer to the main critical questions. Working together in a sprint, you can shortcut the endless-debate cycle and compress months of time into a single week, but will require commitment and dedication. You can fast-forward into the future, before making any expensive commitments.
