Brought to you by the team at The Next Billion - Globally Spotted is a discovery & social amplification platform for female-led enterprises dedicated to championing more visibility for female-led ventures worldwide with inspiring, innovative, smart as well as purpose-driven business models. Harnessing the power of the crowd & social amplification, we hope to enable female-led enterprises with access to a wider network of supporters beyond family and friends & help them reach broader audiences.  We started as a crowdfunding platform for female entrepreneurs, but we now have a broader vision to enlist and inspire the next generation of female entrepreneurs to harness their potential and impact. With this belief in our minds, I have some key values as a person and I try to build my company around these as well: passion, nurture, inspiration, creativity and create. When I had my first child, I had a little identity crisis and I read this amazing article, which said that if you can build a business based on your personal values, you would never have to sell a thing in your entire life. This is actually kind of true because you then become more authentic to who you are.

Ope™ is modular furniture designed for reuse and sustainability. Like with LEGO, you can build and rebuild variations in infinite from the same basic components — making redecorating cost and waste-free. Our solutions transform open-plan offices into good working environments through variety and flexibility. Each cube can be opened or closed. Giving you endless possibilities to customize solutions for different rooms and employees. Wool cushions act as sound absorbers and bring color to the interior. With Ope, you get a Kinder-egg; storage, shielding, and sound dampening. You get a room divider without closing off the light - and which is open enough so that it inspires interaction. You can also create a room within the room and make social spaces. The click patent in the connectors is the key that enables you to easily assemble the modules so that you can customize solutions to get the best working environment for your office and employees - and you can rebuild and expand with just a few clicks. Ope™ was designed by Lars Urheim and Eirik Høvik Helgesen and has an elegant Scandinavian design that lets in light from all sides and gives it a soft and modern look. Influenced by the modern Scandinavian lifestyle, Ope™ set out to create a timeless furniture system to meet demands for sustainability, flexibility, and individuality. Ope™ challenges the idea that furniture must be a static object and is unique in the sense that the form and function are decided by the user. Ope makes it easy to make a sustainable choice.

Progbit is an independent design center helping you to convert your idea into your product. We have wide knowledge of electronic design covering all aspects from hardware to embedded systems including processor and FPGAs. Our main focus is implementing advanced functions in FPGAs and ASICs. ProgBit was founded April 1st 2014 by three experienced designers from Nera/Ceragon and Mikrokrets. We have broad knowledge of radio, modem, telecom, datacom and ultrasound. There are many potential pitfalls when designing FPGA and ASICs. To avoid these, Progbit has a strong focus on design methodologies. This includes partition of the design, naming conventions, clock domain crossing, state machines, reset methodologies and so on. All this is to avoid design errors that can be so hard to debug. ProgBit has also focus on making the FPGA code readable and reusable. This includes sensible signal names and heavy commenting in the code. This makes it easy for anyone to take the code and do improvements in the future. Our target is to design the FPGA together with you and improve your knowledge during the design process. Hence you will be able to maintain and further develop the design afterwards.

Through meaningful and beautiful photography, PictureAid has created a new arena for companies and individuals to decorate their naked walls, whilst allowing them to create a social improvement in the world. With every picture sold, education is given back to a local child. We believe that photography can not only communicate and influence, but also make an actual difference in the lives of those portrayed. We are showing that the power of photography combined with the potential of naked walls, can actually change lives and create futures out of dreams for the ones that make out the picture.
