ENDA

ENDA is currently building a digital platform to streamline and simplify the process of shopping for eco-friendly clothes online. The aim is to lower the demand for ''Fast Fashion'' and raise the demand for ''Slow Fashion'' + ''Sustainable Fashion'' in the clothing industry. Today, we believe that shopping for clothes online is impersonal, inefficient and unsustainable. Impersonal in the sense that the wide range is not for everyone and there is no direct filtering system sufficiently developed to suit the individual. For example, you have to browse through lots of clothes you don't like before you find what you really want. Inefficient to the extent that the large supply is scattered across multiple online retailers. For example, you need to compare the price, stock status and delivery time of various online shops. This means that the process of shopping for clothes online can be both unproductive and time-consuming. Unsustainable to the extent that many of the major fashion companies offer and refer mostly to ''Fast Fashion''. Which means that constant novelties are promoted with clothes that have compromised quality at squeezed prices. This has contributed to the fashion industry being one of the third largest industries that are polluting our planet today. Below are some examples of areas where fast fashion is having a negative impact. - Textile waste - Eradication of raw materials - Water use and pollution - Microfibers in the sea - Carbon emissions - Fossil fuels - Agriculture - Deforestation - Sweatshops - Public health hazard - Exploitative labor practices - Child Labor - Forced labor - Insane work hours The above areas are something we care about, hence something worth fighting for. We are trying to build a digital platform that enables for personal, efficient and eco-friendly shopping online. Personal in the sense that there is a personalized filtering system for all products that are offered. Efficient to the extent that multiple online retailers are available in one place. Eco-friendly to the extent that we offer and guide the individual to make more sustainable purchases. By offering information to the consumer about what is eco-friendly plus allowing them to shop in a convenient way, we believe this is a step towards a more sustainable way of shopping on the internet. Both of us, (Eric & Filip) have always been entrepreneurial. We come from families with entrepreneurs and have both driven our own businesses before. We have always wanted to do or make something that has a positive impact on the world and its environment. To leave this world in a better shape than we found it, and that's where the idea started to take form. With the world becoming more digitalized by everyday that goes by, and online purchasing becoming more common the shopping in an actual shops (especially during the pandemic). We came to the conclusion that shopping clothes online is extremely wearying. And with fast fashion brands taking over social media and spreading like wildfire. We thought to ourselves, “How can we make shopping more fun and painless and at the same time persuade and educate people to shop more environmentally friendly. We have all seen what impact climate change has to the world and it would be a shame not to try and rework the damages we have caused with the time that is given to us.

Odla Mer

Odla Mer is a vertical social network and gardening app for all gardeners and plant lovers. We make gardening easy, and inspirational with an engaging community, smart gardening tools, and insights. There are nearly half a billion hobby gardeners who are missing a place to share their passion and provides smart tools for modern gardeners. Odla Mer will solve this problem by building an inspiring and engaged community that provides smart tools and insights from “crowd-sourced” data to help make gardening easy, sustainable, and pleasurable for modern gardeners. I found solace in gardening when I was dealing with severe anxiety and depression disorder. I missed an app that was dynamic to my growing conditions and helped covert online inspirations to plant care instructions easily. As a new gardener, it can get very overwhelming. I wanted to solve this problem to help many gardening enthusiasts to grow more with the least effort. I know we would rather spend the time gardening than fiddling with the app :D With every person we help garden more, we have a positive impact on their wellbeing, the environment, and society as a whole.

UniHelper

UniHelper is an Ed-Tech service for higher education, that improves student well-being and reduces dropout rates through algorithms and automated group creation. The company is based on the 4 founders' personal experiences when studying. Here, we all had a group of co-students to study and socialize with, which was crucial for our time as a student. Sadly some of our co-students did not have a, and many of them were faced with the huge personal defeat of dropping out. Therefore, we encouraged the university management to divide all new students into study groups. But that task was too complex for them, so they asked us to come up with a solution. And we did. At UniHelper we have developed software that forms optimal study groups for several thousand students in the blink of an eye. This ensures that every single student becomes part of a study group from the first day of the study. And the universities can automate the entire group formation process, reduce loneliness and avoid students dropping out. Since we started back in 2018, we have created groups for more than 10,000 students in 70 different education. If you wish to make a huge impact on student well-being, feel free to reach out.

4i4

While our eyes is on the fourth industrial revolution, we want to be part of the energy revolution and help to reduce the CO2 footprint in every single workplace. we move towards greener workplace by a software solution on energy optimization of dynamic mechanical systems (DMS). Our target industry for now is ventilation systems so called as HVAC for office building. The product is a software solution that monitors and optimizes energy consumption of HVACs. But why HVACs? Ventilations are installed in almost all office and industrial buildings. Only in Denmark, 12 M m2 of area is dedicated to offices and buildings. This corresponds to a huge energy consumption by HVACs (about 40% of total electrical energy consumption of a building and funny enough buildings are responsible for almost half of energy consumption of Denmark in a year). Despite of HVACs simplicity from system point of view, they are very complicated and confusing for the HVAC owners. The energy consumption and waste energy is not clear. Therefore, energy optimization becomes a long shot. 4i4’s product is solving these issues and brings values for the HVAC owners by peace of mind and valuable insight on how to optimize the energy and save on CO2 emission.
