Jordisk ("Earthly" in Norwegian) is a start-up based in Norway that is developing a unique distribution platform for sustainable packaging to help businesses which need single-use food packaging to become environmentally friendly by embracing products which are recyclable, compostable and/or biodegradable. We are also a part of the accelerator Fauna: https://www.faunaeksperimentet.no/ There is an immediate need to replace traditional single use packaging that is normally based on fossil based plastics with more sustainable alternatives that already exist in the market. Food packaging is becoming a growing global concern, because of the large amount of waste it generates and the chemicals it contains that can be detrimental to our health. In 2014, out of the 258 million tons of municipal solid waste generated in the US, more than 63 percent was of packaging materials (for food and other purposes) and, overall, only 35 percent (89 million tons) was recycled or composted. What happens to the remaining 65 percent? We all know that landfills are frequently used and that a lot of waste is just burned which leaves a huge carbon footprint. The end of life alternative for food packaging can be significantly improved by using alternative eco-friendly materials that already exist and can be implemented in a circular model. The aim of our distribution platform is to be the natural marketplace for sellers of sustainable food packaging where they can showcase their products to potential buyers who need one time packaging. Moreover, ideal sellers would genuinely care about the environment and have a circular model in order to reduce the carbon footprint as much as possible. A typical customer would be a restaurant that offers takeaway. The food packaging industry operates in a very traditional way with one-to-one contracts and is mature enough for a disruption. With our platform, we can be the link and matchmaker between the supplier and customer. Our goal is to raise awareness in the industry and among consumers, so they can know about sustainable food packaging alternatives such as products that are made of bagasse, bamboo, mycelium, leaves, bio-laminat and plant-based plastic such as PLA. The timing is ideal, as we are currently seeing drastic changes in jurisdiction and lawmaking in Europe, single-use plastic cutlery, cotton buds, straws and stirrers will be banned by 2021 and the EU's Green Deal Strategy is to find sustainable alternatives to replace traditional fossil based plastic. We are currently doing market research in Norway in order to source and partner with producers that could be interested in our platform. The feedback we are getting so far are positive, as most new producers would like further traction in order to get much needed market share. We are actively looking for another person with the technical know-how that wants to join the team to develop this platform with us. Even though we live in an era of Instagram and Facebook where spreading awareness in a particular topic is easier than before, environmental pollution is still one of the most concerning issues in today’s world. We, as consumers, are either too busy to care about packaging, or there aren’t many sustainable options to choose from when buying a product. One of the founders, Rezowan, has a background from the travel industry, and has from many of his previous travels seen the growing amount of plastic going astray, both on land and at sea. In many Asian countries, he has seen that there are no good waste solutions that contribute to, for example, plastic being recycled in a circular way. Over the last 2-3 years, new technology has been developed that makes it easier to choose sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives, and the main goal is to promote environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil plastics so that society can become more aware of this.

Vores mission er skabe øget trivsel, så brugerne får et bedre liv. Det vil vi gøre ved at udvikle en teknologi, der giver organisationer mulighed for at tilbyde deres medlemmer unikke sundhedsydelser, der øger livskvaliteten. Vi er et team af specialister med dyb teknisk forståelse, og ideen til unikk.me opstod, da vi koblede vores viden om teknologi med ønsket om at gøre en forskel for den enkelte bruger. Mængden af data er stigende, og brugere, organisationer og leverandører indsamler løbende data, men al den indsigt og viden skaber først værdi, når det omsættes til initiativer, der gør en konkret forskel for brugeren. Vi vil gerne bruge digitalisering til at skabe en integreret og unik brugeroplevelse. Tænk hvis optikeren, udover at sælge kontaktlinser og briller, kunne anvende de halvårlige synstests aktivt ved at lade data følge brugeren. Derved kan brugeren nemt stille alle sine synsdata til rådighed for eksempelvis et forskningsprojekt, der forsker i lige præcis den øjenlidelse, som brugeren er arveligt disponeret for. Det vil forbedre behandlingen for brugeren, gavne forskningsprojektet og bevirke, at brugeren får en præference for lige præcis den optiker, der lader data følge brugeren. Konkurrence fordele handler om lige præcis det; evnen til at give brugeren nogle fordele, der er unikke. Indsamling af data åbner også op for helt nye muligheder for at udvikle nye løsninger og produkter, der kan være med til at gøre en forskel for den enkelte. Dermed vil kundeservice få en helt ny betydning og have en direkte effekt på livskvalitet og personlig sundhed. Vi vil gøre data til den nye grønne bundlinje ved at gøre det muligt at koble personlige data fra brugeren, med data indsamlet via en leverandør og offentligt tilgængelige sundhedsdata. Det vil gøre brugeren til en aktiv sundhedsbruger, der får fuld valuta for sine data, og det gør organisationen i stand til at skabe bedre rammer for øget trivsel. unikk.me er designet til en digital hverdag, hvor der er taget hånd om data. Det er fundamentet for vores teknologi. Vi tilbyder indhold til meningsfulde sundhedsydelser, der gør en forskel. Så vi sammen kan skabe øget livskvalitet for brugerne. Hver dag. Hele livet.

You could say that Hilfr is "Airbnb for private cleaning" but Hilfr is more than that Hilfr aims to provide decent working conditions for providers of cleaning services on our platform. As the first cleaning platform in Europe we have negotiated a collective agreement with a trade union (3F). This ensures that people working on Hilfr are guaranteed a good minimum salary, pension, holiday pay, access to sickness benefit and a number of other benefits. All Super Hilfr's are employed by Hilfr Aps which means that tax is payed in accordance with Danish law. Hilfr is a very intuitive and easy-to-manage platform. It is free to sign-up but everyone has to upload a picture of a personal ID, which is key part in ensuring a credible and secure platform. We charge the by far lowest fee in the market - only 6 percent. And our fee is not taken from the Hilfrs wage, it is added to the customer’s bill to ensure transparency. It is important for us to make sure that Hilfrs can keep as much of their pay as possible. That is only fair.

More than 4 million Swedes are "Picky Eaters", i.e. in the need of making informed food choices. PickyEating has developed an app to solve the everyday problem of choosing food. By entering a dietary profile and by scanning the barcode of a food item, the ingredient information is matched with the user's individual preferences. After proof-of-concept among our end-users, the start-up is now scaling up and are ready to adapt and develop the technology into a business-to-business solution for food retailers and producers. For this, we are no looking to expand our team and recruit a developer or a group of two-three sofware/app developers.

We help customers build custom applications faster. Using our own application engine we deliver digital solutions in weeks, rather than months. Applications are hosted on the Apposix platform providing security, updates and regulatory compliance out of the box. Demand for custom applications has been growing rapidly for a number years. At the same time, companies' ability to deliver applications fast are lagging behind. Software development projects are currently too expensive because they involve too many people and take too long. Reseach shows that a software project on average takes 7+ months, requires a team of 8 and cost roughly $1 million. That's not good enough for agile companies looking to gain competitive advantage through better processes. Using modern technologies we are able to deliver custom applications twice as fast as traditional methods, with half the resources. Apposix is made for modern, fast-paced organizations that value their time. All Apposix applications are further hosted on the Apposix platform with additional benefits including maintenance, security, metrics, application management and GDPR compliance.

In laboratories, human work and gathering data is frequently done in an old fashioned way. Data is gathered on paper and stored in folders, or in old fashioned and inflexible software databases. The heterogenous data is often insufficient and hard to interpret, while non-standardized operation procedures lead to human errors. Sciar Company solves this problem with an intuitive and agile software to manage protocols, data and projects, combined with next generation technologies to augment and simplify human work and gather more and better data.

SHADES OF LOVE collects new and used sunglasses and distributes them in remote high mountain regions. In the Himalayas and the Andes, the majority of the population lives in extremely remote regions at an altitude of 2,500 to 6,500 meters. They are exposed to harmful UV rays all year round. Even when it’s cloudy, the UV-radiation penetrates these high-altitude areas. The unique geological and climatic conditions make the sun exposure there so incomparably dangerous. In these heights, the UV filter of the atmosphere is 5 kilometres shorter, than under ‘normal’ conditions. Up to 80% of the population suffers from eye diseases, blindness, or cancer in their lifetime. Many indigenous people fall victim to eye diseases before they turn 30 years old. Some of these diseases are even deadly. Normally, they lead to blindness. Consequently, many can no longer pursue their work, due to blindness and are thus threatened in their existence. It is scientifically proven that living in high altitude correlates strongly with visual impairment. It’s also proven that quality sunglasses can mitigate infection risks and rates. We have distributed hundred thousands of sunglasses to people in the most remote high-altitude regions in the world to prevent the issue and its consequences. We also conduct eye surgeries together with local and foreign doctors to not only prevent, but also cure ocular diseases. Since the start of our project we have expanded and moved beyond the Himalayas to help as many people in need as possible.

Did you know that the dominating booking sites in the world take a horrifying 15-30% in commission of the hotel rate if you book through them?
