Africa Reframed

Online marketplace for African imagery - Powered by online learning. Africa is rising and a visual reframing of the continent is emerging. A reframing crafted by African content creators, telling Africa's story of change. At Africa Reframed we connect a community of African photographers to the world’s leading companies and organizations to create and promote captivating imagery and bespoke projects that propel new storytelling from the African continent. Imagery in the Africa Reframed imagebank has been used by the worlds leading organizations such as: Gates Foundation, UN, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Pfizer, Ernst & Young, Spotify, NBC, Yahoo, Sitecore, Exxon, Cambridge University Press, Hearst, Condé Nast, Lloyds bank, Europe- an Investment Bank, Shell, AOL, ABC, NEC, CNBC, KPMG, Discovery, VISA, Deloitte, Accenture, Ogilvy, UPS, Viacom, Pearson, Barclays, BBC, Axel Springer, British Council, M&C Saatchi, ASUS, Del Monte, Time inc., RTL, Virgin, McKinsey, Airtel, Guardian, Uber, Orange, 3M, HSBC, Samsung, The World Bank and many more. We are looking for investors sharing our vision of Africa Reframed as a value-driven, profitable business that strives to alter the global community’s perception of the African continent while also building sustainable job opportunities for photographers across Africa. Alongside its sister organization, Commerce & Culture, Africa Reframed has managed an array of long-term projects with leading contemporary visual artists globally and organized photo exhibitions with more than 100.000 paying visitors across 3 continents. Among these, the largest exhibition to date with African photography in northern Europe. SDGs: Quality education and decent work and economic growth, SDGs 4 and 8, are an integrated part of the Africa Reframed business model. When the United Nations In 2015 was launching the SDGs with Project Everyone, they did so with a campaign to share the global goals with 7 billion people in 7 days. This happened via global broadcasts, outdoor advertising campaigns, cinema ads, mobile partnerships, and more. Because of the above, Images from our program were among the officially chosen for the campaign and were singled out by the global campaign team as good education and economic growth in action. Misson: Most of the imagery we encounter from the African continent tends to either depict the beautiful scenery and wildlife or scenes of poverty, war, and desperation. While these indeed are bona fide aspects and challenges, Africa is also a continent characterized by immense growth, varied opportunities, and not least, change. The mission of Africa Reframed is to capture and contribute to the spurring of this change by a visual reframing of the continent. A reframing that reflects African enterprise, innovation, and everyday life. Africa Reframed exists to create and promote this new imagery in the belief that by changing the visuals, we can help change the conversation. Thus an inherent part of Africa Reframed’s DNA, which is also mirrored in the name of the company, is to be a catalyst for the way the world looks at the African continent. The wish to illustrate the real Africa and thus to spur optimism and hope around its future makes the company strongly value-driven, and it is believed that such a shared view will help bind contributors, clients, and other stakeholders close together. In 2020 Africa Reframed received an investment from Innovation fund Denmark and was selected as a finalist for the SDG Tech Award.

MULGEO copenhagen

We are MULGEO copenhagen - Danish design brand making sustainable multifunctional furnitures and living solutions.  Our main product is the square fibre stool with rounded corners made of 100% mono-materiel Kraftliner.  In addition, the material Kraftliner is made of replanted trees, which makes the production of the stool CO2-neutral. The environment is our priority and one of our number one values is sustainability and green design. That’s why we produce sustainable and long-lasting products that are useful and multifunctional. Circularity is crucial in our brand philosophy, therefore we follow our product journey from manufacturing to recycling into new materials. We believe in the power of smart products and sustainable, quality materials. Moreover, our goal is to encourage people to integrate these innovative products in their homes and with that, create a close–to–nature ambiance; wherever they live. MULGEO box-chair is made of a multilayer, glued cardboard called Kraftliner. Kraftliner is a ‘virgin’ and pure paper which - made with the highest technologies – allows the material to bear up to 350 kilograms. This is one of the most durable and sturdy paper types out there and worth to mention: it is fully recyclable. This material is FSC-approved, and it ensures that our suppliers are responsible for the trees circularly replanted in Sweden. There is a myth that paper made from recycled fibre is a more responsible choice than paper made from fresh fibre. The fact is, that without fresh wood from sustainably managed forests, the world would eventually run out of paper. Why? Because after several uses, recycled fibers get too short and worn out and have to be replaced with fresh ones. The good news is that the fresh fibre we use is truly sustainable. The production of MULGEO furniture is a process without any CO2-emissions and the only waste materials that occur are pieces of die-cuts, which are recycled after production. Handles for example are recycled in creating new designs. Our whole supply chain is based in Europe - we design in Denmark, source in Sweden and produce in Europe.

MyTownDoesGood.com

MyTownDoesGood connects nonprofits and businesses, and individuals on the local grassroots level around fundraising events and campaigns in small to mid-sized communities, starting with the US. With bootstrapping from the founder and two rounds of grants from Business Finland we have built a first MVP that partially fulfills our vision to digitize and amplify the collaboration that community well-being depends on.  The value propositions on the nonprofit side have been validated. We now want to hopefully utilize a no-code solution to create a version that more fully expresses the value propositions for each user group, meaning SMEs and individuals. For that, we are looking for someone to jump in on a consultant basis for the next few months to help us build the next MVP with Bubble.io.  There maybe options for continued involvement after we build this MVP. You may be wondering why I'm building this from Finland for the U.S.! Well, I lived in the U.S. for 27 years, and experienced first hand the probelms I'm trying to solve. I also still have a very solid network in the U.S. for the launch, which will be limited geographically to hwere I have my network, namely the Andover, MA area.
