Blend is a mission-led start-up which believes business should be a force for social good. Blend works with social enterprises who employ and uplift marginalized women from patriarchal villages in India to bring elegant products to the urban buyer in Nordics. Our main product line is carpets hand-made with natural materials such as wool, jute, silk and recycled PET. The carpets are made with the same superior weaving technique of Persian carpets but have simple and neutral designs which suit the Nordic design sensibility. By promoting handmade products by marginalized women Blend can impact 11 out of 17 UN SDG goals. We launched in Q2 and already have our products in boutique store in North of Copenhagen. Once we establish market connects, Blend wants to connect designers from Denmark and other Nordic countries to production centers in these rural villages to blend the functional Nordic design with 5000 years old artisanal talent of India. In future, Blend will also explore tech-based leasing options for its high-end home furnishing range. We believe that everyone should be able to upgrade home furnishings without giving-in to consumerism and impacting mother nature adversely. Blend is founded by Shakti, an Indian who has lived in Denmark and worked at many Senior Director level positions in Danish companies like Mæersk, Deloitte and Rambøll. Through Blend, Shakti hopes to bring functional Danish design closer to the 5000 years old artisanal talent of India. When one wholeheartedly loves two countries so diametrically opposite to each other, then it’s impossible to hold back from exploring what a blend of these 2 cultures can offer to the world. Her desire to contribute to women empowerment through livelihood is rooted in her own experience and observation of how girls are still seen as a liability in many rural areas. She spoke about it on the award-winning BBC podcast –Dear Daughter: You are wanted https://open.spotify.com/episode/1FX2Gz0o2TSTG7Ymva9YVz?si=3FcvDo9QQ0GBtOg9MNth2Q

DanAid is a mobile Micro-health insurance service providing optimized health plans for the millions on uninsured across Africa. In most countries in Africa unlike Europe, access to healthcare is cash based, with families having to cover all medical costs out of pocket and often up-front. This causes people to delay, skip or forgo care for lack of money, or to choose between healthcare and food or education. The consequences are drastic and well documented. The traditional insurance and community based health financing solution have proven ineffective. Only about 5% of the population is covered, mainly because of high prices, lack of trust and the low reach of their agent based models. We have built a hybrid platform where families can subscribe for an amount they can afford and receive quality coverage for most of their medical needs. Our solution leverages mobile payment facilities as well as the existing healthcare infrastructure to provide near real-time access to care for our subscribers and their families. The users receive the care they need simply by sending us an SMS or scanning our mobile APP through our specially designed "Digital Patient Journey".

Dan’Sammen is a Danish social impact startup working to make information about society easier to understand and access for newcomers and local communities. Many newcomers struggle to navigate everyday systems such as employment, education, healthcare and community activities because information is often complex and only available in Danish. This creates barriers to participation and slows down integration. Dan’Sammen solves this by creating a digital platform that presents practical information about Danish society in simple formats and multiple languages. The platform also connects users with local organizations, activities and communities. In addition, Dan’Sammen develops interactive tools such as games and community activities that bring newcomers and local citizens together and strengthen social belonging. Our mission is to make it easier for everyone to understand society, participate in communities and feel part of a shared future.

SHADES Underwear is a purpose-driven startup redefining what “nude” means in fashion.

We believe that underwear is not just a basic, but a powerful foundation for confidence and self-expression.

The problems: 1. Countless Africans lost money because they trusted someone in Africa to conduct a financial transaction or local project on their behalf and got abused. 2. Current E-commerce marketplaces focusing on Africa do not necessarily take into account the diaspora. 3. They do not take into account the consumer to consumer (C2C) aspect as well as the micro and/or informal ecosystems. 4. No easy way exists to find trustworthy partners and suppliers in Africa. 5. Weak business digitization in general and, in particular, lack of several strong E-commerce marketplaces for Africa. The solution : Therefore we created dadorg.com. First to solve the problem of Africans from the diaspora (outside the continent of Africa) wishing to build houses, buy land or make similar personal projects in Africa and who could not find anyone trustworthy enough to carry these projects out with. The idea slowly moved towards all types of projects and finally towards all kinds of products and services, to become an E-commerce marketplace geared towards the African diaspora and Africa in general without ignoring the global inherent nature of any E-commerce platform.
