Danish Development Research Network (DDRN)

Danish Development Research Network (DDRN) is a non-governmental organization comprising individual and institutional members based in any country. Membership is open to researchers, students, aid practitioners, consultants, private and public entities and others who are involved in the generation, communication and application of knowledge to support sustainable development in the Global South countries. There is a wide gap between North and South in research as a resource for development. According to the UNESCO Science Report 2015, low income countries had 121 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants, as opposed to high income countries with 3,814 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants in 2013. During the same year, 1,363,074 scientific articles were published by researchers in OECD member states, as compared to only 3,909 articles by researchers in low income countries. Global challenges call for joint research to retrieve and combine data across North-South divides. The mutual interests between South and North researchers in exploring global solutions set agendas for research beyond conventional development studies. The emphasis in Denmark on innovation holds a potential for a broad engagement with South countries towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Research by South researchers working in Denmark provides knowledge resources for South-North public and private partnerships.

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.

Orderly

Orderly removes all the hassle of trading used quality items between individuals. We pick up the seller’s goods, take high quality product shots, store and present the items automatically on the main online markets (DBA, Google Shopping, Gul&Gratis etc..). Buyers can shop all they need in a single shipment rather than visiting multiple sellers. It gives both sellers and buyers an attractive shopping experience that is on par with new sales. We actually made it fun to tidy up your home! To succeed we have developed a custom service chain designed to keep costs super low for handling individual items while giving the user the best possible experience. Traditional product shots and descriptions often takes hours per product, a process only feasible for interchangeable goods. By integrating state-of-the-art tech services, Orderly has optimized the process by a factor x50 which mean that we can take professional shots and describe items in seconds rather than hours. We have also fully integrated the many individual steps of the sales process into a semi-automated flow to keep costs low. This has suddenly made hassle-free exchange of quality stuff a sound business opportunity while contributing at scale to a more circular economy.

Jutebar Denmark ApS

Jutebar Denmark Aps formed in 2020 December. Jutebar Denmark Aps working with 3 among 17 FN world goals. Poverty alleviation and eco-friendly living goals are the most two common goals in which jute bar Denmark is working right now. As we are directly sourced and produced the product from a rural area in Bangladesh, they are mostly poor people. They do not have the skills to sale their product in the international market. They do not have the ability to broaden their capacity as well. Jutebar Denmark continuously working on build up their capacities and capabilities by maintaining quality which is suitable for the Nordic market. Mckinsey and company report of 2019 said that 99% of danish people worried about plastic and plastic-based material. They said the danish government should do something about the alternative of plastic. So Jutebar Denmark is working on the solution already. As jute is totally 100% organic fibre. No chemicals and pesticide can be used to grow jute. The report of Mckinsey and company also mentioned that 85% of danish people worried about ocean waste which is mostly plastic. So Jute can be the solution to this problem as well. As jute can help the land to become more fertile. Wastage of jute or jute made products can be used for landfill. As a part of recycling, jute can be recycled and make home textile which can contribute to the danish economy as well. Jutebar Denmark already thinking to establish recycle production in either Denmark or Poland so that the supply chain process will be shorter. All in all Jutebar Denmark currently working on making a bridge between the rural farmer of Bangladesh and Nordic buyer especially in the B2B market. Jutebar is a scalable business not a small business. We have a great team of production, supply chain management, quality management and a dedicated marketing team. We are working basically with jute and jute made products and Bangladesh is the land of jute as more than 60% of jute in the world produce in Bangladesh. We are continuously working and investing in IT so that our customer can easily get our product from farmer to end user. In future, we can probably use blockchain technology in Liew of issuing a letter of credit to our local bank. Our marketing policy is quite different from the traditional marketing system. We are doing solution-based marketing. That’s why we are offering our customers a customized design and packaging system. Besides all of the above, we have great suppliers also. We are much more confident to scale our business in Europe and all over the world in near future. But our current focused market area is Nordic. Besides Jute and Jute made products Jutebar Denmark also going to source other biodegradable items as well. Such as palm leaf made biodegradable plates, bowl, spoon. As single-use of plastic and plastic made plates, glass, bowls are going to be banned in Denmark and the Nordic area.JuteBar Denmark’s mission is to replace the plastic item with a biodegradable item from Bangladesh. Jutebar Denmark following the Bangladesh model here because the Bangladesh government banned plastic since 2002. So Jutebar Denmark going to adapt the system over here in Denmark.

Benjis Sea Moss

What if the healthiest thing you could eat was a plant from the bottom of the ocean? Have you heard of Sea Moss Gel before? Nature’s most powerful superfood? The one that contains 92 of the 102 minerals our body needs? Now, I know what you’re thinking. Seaweed? Really? That slimy stuff on the beach? Yep, that one. But here’s the thing.. We’ve turned it into something that’s not only incredibly good for you but also seriously delicious. Let’s rewind for a second, because there’s a reason Sea Moss is called nature’s most powerful superfood. At Benji’s, we produce nutrient-dense Sea Moss Gel. A plant-based superfood that we grow and harvest sustainably from the tropical island of St. Lucia. This island isn’t just beautiful, it’s alive. The surrounding waters are rich in minerals thanks to volcanic rock activity beneath the seabed, and the warm Caribbean climate creates perfect growing conditions for the golden sea moss to thrive. It naturally absorbs over 90 essential minerals and becomes rich in omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and vitamins, making it one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. What’s even more magical is that Sea Moss doesn’t just support human health, it supports the planet too. Sea Moss is one of nature’s quiet climate heroes. It takes in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and releases oxygen, just like trees. So by farming sea moss, it’s basically like planting underwater forests. And they are powerful ones. Sea moss can absorb up to 20 times more CO₂ per acre than land-based plants, and it grows without needing fresh water, soil, or fertilizers. Even better, as it grows, the sea moss creates a safe habitat for marine life. Fish, crabs, and turtles return to the area, and whole ecosystems begin to regenerate. It helps restore balance to the ocean while asking almost nothing in return. It’s one of the few crops on Earth that is good for both people and the planet at the same time. And that’s exactly the kind of thing we want to be part of here at Benji’s.

Plazzo

Plazzo is a start-up located in Hasselager near Aarhus. We've started business in April 2021 and are still in a early phase of research and development. Our core product is solid plastic sheets that are moulded from granulated plastic waste in a heatpress. The sheets can be sold as they are, as a building material, meant to replace plywood and other sheet materials. The sheets can also be routed and finished into ready to use design products, such as tables, chairs, wall panels, etc. The short term goal is to make a profitable business in Denmark by creating a brand and demand of our recycled circular products. The long term goal is to sell the plastic recycling machinery in container based factory units to developing countries. We are currently two owners whom are working part time on the project with administration, as well as one full time technical employee in the production. We are receiving consultation through several funded programs such as: Cirkulær Grøn Omstilling and Green Tech Center Inkubator Program. We are exhibiting at Tech BBQ in Øksnehallen in Copenhagen on September 17th.
