Who we are Each year in Denmark, over 2 million people upgrade their smartphones, but few have a clear idea of what to do with their previous device. Of course, they could sell it or trade it in, but today these options are primarily perceived as a hassle, a scam, or a waste of time. This results in Danes often having two or more smartphones wasting in a dusty drawer. Our mission to reduce this waste and to make the best use of their potential by providing a transparent, fair, and simple way to ensure that our old technology gets used to its fullest extent. The user can then support sustainable causes through our platform with the value of their used phones. Why do we exist? Used phones are extremely valuable. In fact, every year we estimate that at least one billion kroner worth of used phones enters the market in Denmark alone. On top of this, smartphone production has tremendous environmental and social impacts that are seldom talked about. Making the best use of minerals and labor that has already been put into our phones is the least we can do. Through research, we found that most people do not sell or trade-in their devices today for various reasons. However, over 90% of people responded that they would donate the value that their used phone could be sold for, entirely or in part, to philanthropic causes so long as it was easy and transparent. Therefore, not only are the causes we support genuinely good, but they provide the motivation to awaken a large and growing market. Today there is no platform where this can easily be done. Lokalist aims to fill this gap in the market and be the platform where people and businesses can easily donate all or part of the value of their used technology to support sustainable actions we all want to see more of. What happens to the used phones? The used phones we receive are safely wiped, complying with Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They then have a 92% chance to be refurbished or harvested for working components. The semi-new phones are sold in markets across the world to be loved by future users. The phones that cannot be refurbished are responsibly recycled, making sure to reuse minerals that are otherwise impactful to mine. Our values As a company, we focus heavily on integrating the Nordic values of transparency, honesty, community, and simplicity into our mission. This is not typical of our competitors in this space. By being active in the carrying-out of the sustainable causes with our partners, and showing our users instantly how their device could support them, we believe we can help make the best use of our e-waste while spreading the love.

Plastic Change en dansk miljøorganisation med et ambitiøst internationalt sigte Vi arbejder hårdt med at knække den stigende kurve over plastikspild. Plastik er overalt – på land og til vands. Tre generationers forbrug af plastik har sat sine spor. Kun en lille del bliver genbrugt eller destrueret. Resten ligger i naturen i hundredvis af år. Vi arbejder for at reducere vores enorme plastikproduktion ved blandt andet at eliminere unødvendig engangsplastik fra vores produkter, ved at sætte bedre rammer for hvordan vi designer produkter til mere genbrug, og det plastik vi ikke kan genbruge, skal vi kunne genanvende. Vi arbejder både på politisk niveau, sammen med befolkningen, i samarbejde med innovationspartnere, på internationalt niveau, sammen med forskere og med at uddanne vores fremtidige generationer om problemet. Plastic Change består af et fast dedikeret team og en række uundværlige frivillige kræfter. Alle yder en stor, uvurderlig og professionel indsats for, at organisationen kan gennemføre sine ambitioner om at knække kurven for plastikproduktion og hermed plastikforurening.

We back bold entrepreneurs in their earliest stages and help shape the foundation of their aspirations. We classify investments into three categories; BUILD, SCALE, and FOMO. Building cases are companies that are so early that the company might not even be registered with the authorities yet. It’s merely an idea that we need to shape together, right from the beginning. Here we put in lots of hours and enough capital to build a minimum viable product and test the product on the market. If successful, we move to a scale-up phase investing more money and/or raise capital from external investors. SCALE cases are more developed. The first team is there, and they are close to a product-market fit. We help build the foundation with capital, advisory and agreed-upon milestones within, e.g., legal work, growth hacking, or strategy. Finally, yes, we do also invest in FOMO cases with only capital…

KhaosGuard is making greenhouse gas emissions visible. KhaosGuard is developing a new generation of laser and optical technology that can measure, map and quantify greenhouse gas emissions across large areas in real time. By combining advanced mid-infrared laser spectroscopy, optical sensor networks and wind-field data, we can turn complex emission plumes into accurate, quantitative measurements of where emissions come from and how much is being released. Our technology brings together advanced spectroscopy and atmospheric modelling in a robust field system — creating a level of spatial and real-time emissions intelligence that has not previously been available. Starting with wastewater treatment Our first focus is wastewater treatment plants, where we are helping operators detect, localise and quantify nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions — commonly known as laughing gas and a highly potent greenhouse gas. By making these emissions visible, we give wastewater operators the intelligence they need to understand what is happening across their plants, identify emission hotspots and optimise their processes for greater efficiency and lower emissions. Ultimately, our goal is simple: you cannot optimise what you cannot measure.

**Ebbefos** gør den grønne omstilling til en realitet ved at gøre energioptimering enkel, intelligent og værdiskabende. Energiområdet bliver stadig mere komplekst. Svingende elpriser, øget elektrificering og nye teknologier gør det vanskeligt for både virksomheder og private at udnytte deres energiinvesteringer optimalt. Mange løsninger fungerer isoleret, hvilket betyder, at kunderne ikke opnår det fulde økonomiske og klimamæssige potentiale. Hos Ebbefos kombinerer vi intelligent energistyring med levering af strøm og markedets bedste energiteknologier. Vi integrerer elaftaler, batterier, solceller, elbilopladning, varmepumper og energistyring i én samlet løsning, hvorigennem energien købes, produceres, lagres og anvendes på det mest optimale tidspunkt. Resultatet er lavere energiomkostninger, bedre udnyttelse af energien og en mere robust energiforsyning. Vores mål er at være den betroede partner, der gør den grønne omstilling enkel og skaber målbare resultater for virksomheder, den offentlige sektor og private hjem. Ebbefos er ejet af en fond, og vores overskud går til indsatser, der styrker børn og unges trivsel. Derfor bidrager vores kunder ikke kun til en grønnere fremtid, men også til et stærkere fællesskab for kommende generationer. Vi tror på, at den grønne omstilling lykkes bedst, når teknologi, økonomi og samfundsansvar går hånd i hånd.
