ColouReef

We are a new social startup named ColouReef and we are going to rethink and innovate the fashion industry. As you probably know, the fast fashion industry has a more negative impact on our environment and society than it does good. Being one of the most polluting ones, the industry emits more CO2 into the atmosphere than international flights and maritime shipping combined. Moreover, it is a water-consuming giant that is responsible for 20% of all industrial water pollution worldwide. Additionally, fast-fashion companies that produce garments in the global south, are profiting by exploiting local labour and nature. Fast fashion is the problem. Ever changing trends, consumerism and the fear of being left out, affects people psychologically, as fashion collections’ frequency jumped from 2 to 4 per year in 2000 to 12, 16 and sometimes 24 different collections per year in 2019. As a result, in 2014 to compare with 2000, on average people bought 60% more clothes and kept them just half as long. Consequently, this behaviour created another major problem of the industry – waste. Around 85% of the textile ends up in landfills or being burned, while barely 15% are recycled. In 2017 – 16.9 million tons of textile was produced, and only 2,6 million tons were recycled. The problem is, that many consumers in the global North are being held as hostages by the fast fashion trends, without many, if any, sustainable alternatives. This is our solution to the problems above: • To create a fashion rental service based on a circular economy, that allows customers to own different garments by paying a monthly subscription. In this way we will be able to reduce the impact of the fast fashion while allowing people an opportunity to change their outfit and style more often. • We will offer clothes ONLY from sustainable companies, which care about our planet and everyone living on it. Meaning that clothes will need to be produced sustainably and ecologically and/or contain recycled fabrics, as well as not to exploit labour within their supply chain. • Damaged and worn out clothes will be returned back to the clothing brand to upcycle or will be recycled and/or upcycled locally by ColouReef. This way we will fight together the problem of enormous waste caused by the industry. • We will change the habits of the consumers, by providing an alternative to own and wear sustainable clothing for a period of time instead of owning cheap and vastly produced fashion garments. At the same time, we will educate our customers about the damages that the textile industry is doing to our environment. • As the name of our company implies, we want to help to protect coral reefs that are on the verge of extinction. Coral reefs are a vital part of the whole underwater ecosystem. Warming ocean and ocean acidification are two of the main reasons why corals are bleaching and dying around the world. Besides our effort to transform the fashion industry into a more sustainable version of it, we will also support selected NGOs that are fighting against coral extinction. We are looking for people thinking in the same way, seeing the problems and wanting to solve them by disrupting the fashion industry.

Mingo ApS

Vi er et team med 5 ansatte, som beskæftiger sig med mikro influencers (1.000-10.000 følgere) på Instagram. Vi har hidtil haft stor succes med vores første start-up Inmix, som primært sælger mikro influencer løsninger i høj kvalitet til brancherne; fashion, hudpleje, design og event. Vi har efterfølgende startet en ny virksomhed, som hedder Mingo. Mingo beskæftiger sig også med mikro influencer marketing, men rettet mod restauranter og caféer i Danmark. Vi har valgt at automatisere hele samarbejdet med influencerne i en app, der gør det nemt, sikkert og billigt at markedsføre sig med influencers. Helt konkret er vores løsning en app, hvor influencers kan finde lækre restauranter og caféer i Danmark, som de vil promovere overfor sine følgere. Mikro Influencerne kan deltage i kampagner on the go, når det passer dem. Når de deltager i en kampagne får de gratis mad eller drikkevarer og betaler med billeder eller stories, som de deler på deres Instagramprofil for at markedsføre restauranten eller caféen. Før en influencer kan få adgang til Mingo, har de været igennem en screenings-process, som sikrer at de har en troværdig og relevant profil uden falske følgere. Alle influencers bliver inddelt i forskellige niveauer alt efter, hvor værdifuld deres profil er for restauranterne og caféerne. Vi vurderer blandt andet profilerne ud fra æstetik, følgerantal, engagement og hvor mange danske følgere de har. Vi vil gøre Mingo til den største platform der forener influencers med restauranter og caféer, først i Danmark, og senere i hele Europa.

Urban Cycles

Urbanization and worsening transport problems in cities (e.g. air pollution, noise, traffic injuries, congestion, parking shortages, etc) lead to new mobility trends. The increased importance of cycling and micro-mobility is one of them. Our mission is to enhance urban cycling and encourage more users to commute on their bikes. To do so we design, assemble and deliver unique electric bicycles (also called pedelecs) for urban commuters. But we are not just a bicycle manufacturer, we consider ourselves as a company defining urban mobility. We are a young Finnish startup company with 6 team members, who are currently living in 3 different countries. We came up with the concept of our e-bike and started active prototyping in early 2019. We've already built first prototypes, tested key hypotheses and are now on the final stage of product development. Because of an ongoing patenting process, we are still in somewhat "stealth mode".
