Ralf Dummel, born on 02.12.1966 in Bad Segeberg in Germany, started his career on 01.04.1988 at DS Produkte as a sales assistant to the then founder. Over the years he learned the business from the ground and took full responsibility for purchases and sales after only a year. He vastly participated in the establishment of the company and has been apartner since 1996. Today, the group has an annual turnover of ca. € 250 000 000, 400 employees, and more than 4 000 products in its portfolio. He often travels the world to visit suppliers and customers, and to find inspiration in new innovative products. Dümmel knows Asia inside out, but Northern Germany is the place he calls home. Since 2016 he takes part in the TV program “Die Höhle der Löwen” (literally: The Lions’ Cave, German version of Dragons’ Den on German TV channel VOX ) where he plays one of the “lions”, looking for young entrepreneurs with brilliant products.Ralf Dummel is very convincing with his genuine and appreciative style. From day one, Ralf Dümmel brightened up the surroundings, thanks to his enthusiasm for business and for new products. He has a unique sense for trends and products; he can market them with more success than hardly anyone else. He proudly claims that there hardly is any household without a “DS product” in Germany. Dümmel is often on the road for professional reasons, and when he sees that a customer adds a DS product in their shopping cart, he feels the same tingle of joy after 28 years that he felt in the early days. The 400 employees are Dümmels’s most important asset. They actively take part in the company, invest themselves in it, and help it develop further. Dummel is very proud that the DS products are the result of such a varied cast of people and skill sets. These are people with different personalities and talents that complement each other in a cooperation shaping always innovative business and product ideas.

HUG A PET — HUG A PET is a first of a kind marketplace in the pet healthcare mobility sector in Germany. Our goal is to offer convenience, save time and eliminate stress of pet owners by bringing pet healthcare to their doorstep. It is an easy appointment booking platform for pet owners to book verified mobile vets who will visit your home. Why are we sopassionate about this ? We understand how terrifying it can be for your pets to visit a Veterinary. Plus there are always these fear of whether the Vet is competent enough, whether the people at the clinic are friendly enough, whether the problem your pet is facing can be easily diagnosed, whether you will have to hop around and visit different Vets for the same problem you are facing. Then there is the question of time. No-one likes to travel all the way to the vet clinic and then wait for hours to finally get the Vet’s attention. With HUG A PET, you book fixed appointment, the consultation is as long as your pet needs it in the comfort of your home or office and your pet gets a personalized attention. We are disrupting the current pet healthcare quality and bringing comfort, personalized experience and superior quality to the pet owners. Our Mission: Our mission for HUG A PET is simple : to attract, nurture and grow the world's best mobile health care providers for pets via our platform and compliment that with exceptional customer service. We are working hard to create a technology where we can support the Veterinarians to reach the pet owners faster, provide them with updated pet's medical and psychological history on their mobile device, and act as an operational ninja that constantly collaborates with latest status between the pet owner and the vet on-the-go. Our goal is to leapfrog and create substantial pet health care improvements, one customer at a time. We have a strict vetting process where we pick the most recommended mobile veterinarians and onboard them on our database.

alcemy — Concrete is the most widely used building material on our planet. The only thing mankind uses more of is water. With a wave of urban development coming in the next few decades, concrete is also a rapidly growing trillion-dollar market. However, cement and concrete production is responsible for 8% of the global CO2 emissions, making its growth a bigcause for concern.Low-carbon concrete exists - but until now it has been too sophisticated to be produced reliably and on a large scale. It contains very little burnt limestone - responsible for the strength of concrete and CO2 emissions. This makes low-carbon concrete vulnerable to fluctuations in raw materials and operating conditions and thus difficult to produce with reliable quality. Adding to the challenge: the final quality of concrete can only be measured weeks AFTER it has been processed on the construction site - far too late to be corrected. This is why our world is still built on more robust, high-carbon concrete. Using alcemy's software, cement and concrete producers receive precise quality predictions already during production. Based on these prediction models, our AI identifies which production parameters need to be adjusted to mitigate the impact of fluctuations. Thus, the quality of cement and concrete can be optimized BEFORE delivery – for the first time in history.The result is significantly more consistent product quality, allowing producers to safely replace burnt limestone with less expensive, low-carbon materials found in nature. In this way, they can also avoid payments for CO2 emission certificates in the EU. Saving costs, bringing production processes up to speed for 21st century concrete recipes, and saving half of Europe’s CO2 emissions goes hand in hand at alcemy. Join us on our journey to make low-carbon concrete a reality!
