FlyPort is developing a VR-based training platform for professional pilots to help airlines and flight schools get a more adaptable, sustainable and cost efficient way to educate their pilots. All with the use of our portable and immersive FlyPort VR-headset. FlyPort is bridging the gap between theory and practise in professional flight training through VR. Today’s way of training pilots is neither flexible nor conducive to effective learning, which causes pilots not to be as prepared for practical work as they should, and could be. Neither is the way we train pilots today cost efficient or adapted to a more sustainable and environmental friendly aviation industry. With the use of our portable FlyPort VR-headset, our product delivers an immersive training experience more conductive to efficient learning, accessible to the pilot anywhere, anytime and as many times as he or she wants. Not only does this improve safety, but by reducing the number of failed simulator sessions and retakes, airlines and flight schools can vastly cut their training costs while maintaining a high safety standard.

Sideflow is circular economy service, who is developing a service to help textile companies eliminate waste. We do it by building a platform that connects industrial sidestreams to potential utilizers. From all the material used in textile manufacturing in Finland, up to 30% ends up directly into waste, most commonly as cutting waste. Global research suggests that the amount can be even higher, up to 45% when also deadstock is included. We are creating a service and a platform that recognizes the material waste in an early phase and connects it to potential utilizers - companies that can use the rescued material in their products as it is, or after it is processed to new materials. Through our work in textile productions, we recognized the issue, and ran experiments and pilots to find solutions. In the pilots we have been able to eliminate waste by channeling the waste to new products. There lies undiscovered value in industrial sidestream, both for the economy and the ecosystem, and our mission is to recover that.
