Project 1 – Administration Page Title: Pilot municipality for digital appointment & document handover in social benefits Incomplete applications cost case workers and citizens alike time. We have built the solution and are looking for 1-2 municipalities, districts, or job centers in Lower Saxony for a pilot: Citizens check their entitlements digitally via MeinLeistungsCheck, counseling centers qualify the case in our software SO12 (rule-based, 8 benefit types productive) – and your administration receives tailor-made appointments with complete, pre-checked documents. Fewer queries, shorter processing times, measurable in the pilot. We start lean: joint workshop, one benefit type, clear evaluation. We bring experience with funding projects (ESF+ "Social Innovation") – we are also happy to discuss a funded pilot construction with you. Project 2 – Association/Consulting Page Title: Trade association sought: Jointly develop white-label consulting software Specialized consulting fields require specialized tools – but no association should have to develop software alone. Our model: Based on our consulting software SO12, we develop tailor-made white-label specialist applications with trade associations (case documentation, knowledge base, statistics for funding proof – also for particularly sensitive data according to Art. 9 GDPR). The partner finances the one-time adaptation and thereafter only pays for server and maintenance – any further development is permanently free of charge, because we maintain the product in our own interest. We are looking for welfare associations, trade associations, and providers with multiple counseling centers who want to standardize their documentation and secure volunteer knowledge. Initial consultation and needs workshop are the lean entry point.

Developing products that are truly sustainable and conserve resources is our goal. We gently process by-products such as wood, oat husks, or other natural materials so that CO2 remains bound and resources flow back into the material cycle through cascade utilization. We invest in sustainable energy generation such as PV, wind power, and biomass drying to become more independent of the energy market. Our bioplastics, partly filled with natural fibers, bio-based and, on request, also biodegradable, are slightly more expensive than fossil-based plastics. They can be processed on conventional injection molding machines, even at lower temperatures, which saves additional energy. We are looking for partners who want to use our natural fibers or bioplastics for sustainable applications.

In recent years, deLiCat has not only built a functioning catering system but also a scalable operating model. The next growth phase is consistently focused on three pillars: digital infrastructure, operational excellence, and structured market expansion. The company's own Kitchen Information System (KISS) already digitally maps recipe management, nutrient calculation, and production control. In the next expansion stage, KISS will be extended to include a complete ERP module: real-time order quantities per facility, automated supplier ordering, digital HACCP documentation, and a parent frontend for meal registration and feedback. In parallel, billing – currently via the PCA system – will be migrated to a multi-client, scalable platform that can also integrate large customers and tender partners. The goal is fully paperless operations by the end of 2027. Process Optimization The modular Cook & Hold system – based on 10 basic manufactory ingredients and 650+ recipes – is already structured in such a way that new facilities can be integrated into existing production runs without loss of quality. The central kitchen (currently ~1,000 meals daily) can be scaled up to 3,500 meals. Ongoing measures include: standardized employee onboarding processes, digital work instructions and HACCP plans, and a deficit analysis system for continuous quality assurance at the team level. The intended EU approval of the production kitchen creates the regulatory basis for supra-regional supply. Rollout deLiCat pursues a controlled, tender-driven growth path. The current pipeline includes 21 municipalities in the greater Hanover area. Ongoing award procedures (including the city of Lehrte) are systematically served with standardized tender documents, supply concepts, and reference certificates. The rollout of new locations follows a defined onboarding process: needs analysis → logistics planning → test operation → regular operation within 6–8 weeks. Existing cooperations with regional food partners (Bode Naturkost, Chef's Culinar, Eierhof Carsten Popp) secure supply chains even with capacity expansion. With the right strategic partner, deLiCat can achieve this rollout from today's 7 facilities to 25+ locations – without compromising on quality, transparency, or proximity to children.

The Health Reform 2026 exacerbates existing challenges in the German healthcare system, especially in rural areas: increasing centralization, shortage of skilled workers, and lack of preventive control At the same time, existing instruments such as company health insurance have so far only been used passively and do not offer an integrated solution for care, prevention, and transparency. What is missing is a digitally controlled, holistic system that actively organizes health, strengthens regional care structures, and at the same time takes economic effects into account.

Automated occlusion and completeness analysis, inpainting and next-best-view prediction for 3DRGB-D data

Companies, educational institutions, chambers of commerce and industry (IHK/DIHK), and public sector organizations face the challenge of developing AI skills quickly, practically, and with guaranteed quality. At the same time, AI technologies, regulatory requirements, and operational applications are evolving so rapidly that traditional curricula, training materials, and certificate programs often cannot be updated quickly enough. Manually creating and maintaining high-quality training materials is time-consuming and expensive, ties up scarce expert resources, and hinders scalable professional development. AGI² addresses this challenge with an AI-powered platform that automates the creation, updating, and quality assurance of training materials. Modern AI methods such as large language models, retrieval augmented generation, and generative AI are combined with human-in-the-loop processes, source verification, and didactic validation. This enables educational institutions, companies, and public organizations to develop current learning content more quickly, maintain existing materials more efficiently, and better adapt training programs to different target groups. The open question is how to combine automated content creation, expert control, accreditation requirements and practical usability to create a scalable, trustworthy and marketable solution for AI competence building.
