MOME student wins the Bosch × Richter Industrial Innovation Award

Date: 2024.11.29
The Bosch × Richter Industrial Innovation Award was announced for the first time in the spring of 2024 by two of Hungary’s leading innovative companies, Bosch and Richter, for higher education students. After careful consideration, the jury awarded this year's prize to three projects, each addressing different challenges: the expansion of autonomous technology, dementia treatment, and of urban heat islands. The latter was MOME graduate Ádám Teket’s project titled Urban Oasis.

The aim of the competition was to encourage young people to develop forward-thinking solutions, with the organisers expecting marketable ideas that address real-world problems in our daily lives for a more sustainable future of transportation and healthcare. 

Urban Oasis 2030, a passenger pavilion system, tackles one of today’s most pressing issues – urban heat islands caused by densely built, artificially surfaced areas. This complex redesign concept for urban rest areas and stop shelters in the summer season incorporates the various elements of these spaces, from floor coverings to roof greening, and provides a multi-level architectural response to the problem. 

The project employs passive and very low-energy cooling technologies, introduces green solutions, provides cooling and shading, which could be lifesaving for city dwellers during the summer heat in the urban concrete jungle. The innovation not only aims to improve our daily well-being but also addresses the long-term health and ecological consequences of climate change. Moreover, sustainability is evident not only in the pavilion’s modular functionality and operation but also in its design and material use. 

Robert Bosch and Gedeon Richter, two notable inventors, were born on the same day but 11 years apart, and with their innovations, they made the world a better place. In honour of this, the Hungarian Bosch Group and Richter Gedeon Nyrt. have been organising the Bosch × Richter Innovators' Day for the second year, complete with the Bosch × Richter Industrial Innovation Award, recognising the forward-looking ideas of Gen Z. 

Teket’s diploma project recently featured at the London Design Week as part of an exhibition of MOME’s outstanding diploma works. To learn more about Ádám Teket's project, check out his application video here:

Water still feels like a given in our everyday lives – but for how much longer? This pressing issue was tackled by secondary school students in the 2025 edition of the ‘Jump into the Future!’ creative competition. Working in teams, pupils from Years 7 to 10 developed bold, imaginative ideas for the future of one of life’s most essential resources. In the second round, selected teams refined their concepts in close collaboration with MOME mentors. At the final on 25 June, ten teams presented their forward-thinking visions, with four of them awarded by a jury of MOME faculty. First place went to Ísbíltúr, second to Bacsaók, third to Code Noir, while Newwave received a special prize. All four stood out not only for their creativity, but also for their systems-level approach, serving as a powerful reminder that water scarcity is no distant threat but an issue we must act on now.

How can we make better use of public transport infrastructure? What would a truly fast and effective life-saving device look like? And how can we save agriculture in a world without bees? These are just a few of the questions addressed by our design students, and their imaginative, forward-thinking answers have earned international recognition in the Design Concept category of one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions, the Red Dot Award. Seven projects mentored through the MOME Red Dot submission programme stood out from the global competition this year, including diploma projects and semester-long university projects.
