Viele kleine und mittlere Unternehmen haben heute Schwierigkeiten, digital sichtbar zu bleiben, neue Kunden zu gewinnen und bestehende Kunden langfristig zu binden. Große Unternehmen verfügen oft über eigene Apps, Bonusprogramme, digitale Gutscheine und automatisierte Marketinglösungen. Regionale Händler, Gastronomiebetriebe und Dienstleister haben dafür häufig weder die Zeit noch die passenden Werkzeuge. E-Smartpoints möchte diese Herausforderung gemeinsam mit strategischen Partnern lösen. Unsere Plattform verbindet digitale Kundenbindung, lokale Angebote, eCoupons, ein Punktesystem, Marketing-Automatisierung und ein regionales Partnernetzwerk in einer einfachen Lösung. Wir suchen Kooperationspartner, Vertriebspartner, regionale Netzwerke, Wirtschaftsförderungen, Handels- und Gastronomiepartner sowie Unternehmen, die gemeinsam mit uns Pilotprojekte umsetzen und den kommerziellen Ausbau in Niedersachsen unterstützen möchten. Ziel ist es, regionale Unternehmen digital zu stärken, neue Kundengruppen zu erschließen und ein kollaboratives Geschäftsmodell aufzubauen, bei dem Händler, Nutzer, Vertriebspartner und strategische Partner vom Wachstum des Netzwerks profitieren können.

How can connected cars be operated safely throughout their entire service life of up to 25 years, when cyber threats, software, and regulatory requirements are constantly evolving? TÜV SÜD contributes its expertise from the homologation requirements according to UNECE R155 and R156 and is looking for innovative solutions for long-term cybersecurity, software updates, and risk management in the vehicle fleet together with partners. With the increasing connectivity of vehicles, new challenges arise regarding cybersecurity, software updates, and long-term risk management. While vehicles often remain in operation for 15 to 25 years, current cybersecurity concepts and software support periods are usually designed for significantly shorter periods. Innovative solutions are sought for the long-term security of vehicles, the assessment of cyber risks in the vehicle fleet, and sustainable concepts for software and security updates over the entire life cycle. In particular, questions regarding the feasibility of regulatory requirements, end-of-life support, and the future operational and traffic safety of connected vehicles are the focus. TÜV SÜD contributes comprehensive expertise from the homologation and conformity assessment of vehicles according to UNECE R155 (Cyber Security Management System) and UNECE R156 (Software Update Management System). The goal is to develop practical solution approaches for the long-term cybersecurity of connected cars together with industry, the insurance sector, technology providers, and research institutions.

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.
