SDG and our Vision

SpaceTech 4 PlanetEarth

We humans can achieve great things .

We send space explorers to distant galaxies, shoot men to the moon and tourists into space. To make all this possible, vast amounts of money have already been invested in technology research.

How will this benefit humanity and our planet?

Teflon pans and pens that can write on the ceiling?

That can't have been it!

We, the founders of KTW, thought to ourselves, and applications that our engineers once developed for space travel are now helping to make the world a little bit better.

The KTW team specialises in transferring innovations from space to earth in order to significantly increase added value and sustainability in industrial processes, medical technology and mobile applications. Our technologies help to reduce emissions, pesticides and resource waste. They support renewable energy sources or the iron lung, enable long-lasting hip implants or electric propulsion systems for aviation. All applications are associated with an increase in efficiency and thus a reduction in costs for our customers. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

With our solutions, we are guided by the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, of the United Nations. With its 17 Goals, the UN has given us all a framework for how we humans should act on the planet in the future. Every individual, whether a company, government, institution or private person, is called upon to work towards fulfilling these goals.

We do not have to be a genius like Einstein to realise that it is mainly innovation and technological progress that will help to solve the urgent questions of humanity. Especially if we do not want to give up economic prosperity.

 

"The purest form of madness is to leave everything as it is and at the same time hope that something will change."

Albert Einstein, Physiker und Physik-Nobelpreisträger

Our solutions, originally developed for space,

support our customers in implementing up to 7 of the 17 SDG´s!

What are the SDGs?

In order to create globally sustainable structures, the member states of the United Nations have set themselves 17 goals for 2030, which are set out in the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development are recorded: The UN Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs for short. These 17 goals are to be achieved by 2030 by all developing, emerging and industrialised countries, are indivisible and interdependent. The SDGs focus on particularly disadvantaged and discriminated population groups. The aim is to make the world fairer, healthier, more peaceful and more social.

The SDGs encompass all three dimensions of sustainability: social, economic and environmental. In addition, the Sustainable Development Goals are preceded by five core messages as principles guiding action: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership.

All people should be able to live in a socially fair world, receive a good education and have a decent job.

Sustainable Development Goals

Our solution mainly support following sustainable goals:

Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

By 2030, ensure the sustainability of food production systems and adopt resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and yield, contribute to ecosystem conservation, increase adaptive capacity to climate change, extreme weather events, droughts, floods and other disasters, and progressively improve land and soil quality

Indicator:

Agriculture: Produce in an environmentally friendly way in our cultivated landscapes
