EcoScope

14. March 2022.

CO2 emissions are increasing all over the world. The consequences such as rising sea levels, species extinction and more and more climate catastrophes are becoming noticeable. In addition, according to a study, around 65% of German SMEs state that they lack knowledge about suitable measures. To achieve the goal of climate neutrality in Munich by 2035, the commitment of small and medium-sized companies is required. With EcoScope, SMEs are provided with an innovative tool that enables them to contribute their part to the climate goal of the city of Munich and to make a difference in the long term. This gives small and medium-sized companies a new tool for estimating their carbon footprint and generating useful recommendations for achieving climate targets. This creates a further building block in the strategy of the city of Munich with which the city can become climate-neutral by 2035. As part of the Co-Innovation Lab at Munich University of Applied Sciences, an interdisciplinary team of eleven students from Munich University of Applied Sciences and the Finnish TAMK University developed a web-based tool for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for the Department of Labor and Economics (RAW) of the City of Munich. The aim was to provide SMEs with relevant information on this topic in addition to the possibility of recording CO2 emissions.

The challenge was processed as a joint project between the DTLab and the Co-Innovation-Lab of the Munich University of Applied Sciences. The Co-Innovation-Lab is an overarching concept for innovation projects between students and companies. For this purpose, temporary innovation partnerships - in the form of projects - are created between companies, students, and lecturers. Initiated by Prof. Holger Günzel and Prof. Lars Brehm (both Munich University), more than 25 innovation projects per year are currently being carried out, often interdisciplinary.

During the challenge, the students received support from AWS.
