PESITHO Pesitho is a Danish based enterprise, committed to providing affordable and clean energy solutions for cooking to marginalized and vulnerable people around the world. We have developed the ECOCA solar powered electric cook stove, to meet the daily cooking and energy needs to families living in off grid areas. Pesitho has established a locally run co-operative outside of the Bidibidi Refugee Settlement in Northern Uganda, from where stoves are assembled, distributed, and serviced by refugee residents and members of the host community. The company was founded in 2018 and has a combined experience of more than 30 years in the renewable energy industry. The Problem we are solving Currently, 4 billion people around the world lack access to clean, efficient, and affordable access to energy for cooking. Polluting fuels and technologies for cooking have a detrimental impact of health, nutrition, gender, and the environment, hindering the process of a sustainable development, in many cases, in already fragile settings. The lack of progress in clean cooking, reportedly costs the world more than $2.4 trillion each year, driven by adverse impacts on health, climate, and gender equality. Left unaddressed, communities will continue face multiple adverse consequences, that are further amplified by poverty, climate change and future global pandemics. To solve this problem Providing access to an affordable and sustainable technology for cooking with the ECOCA solar powered electric cook seeks to address energy security not just for cooking but also to reduce environmental issues like deforestation, pollution, also gender inequality and poverty. Research and design for our stove was conducted with residents of the Bidibidi Refugee Settlement in Northern Uganda, where pilot testing permitted additional adjustments, allowing for a stove specifically designed to meet the cooking needs of vulnerable groups of people living in off grid areas. The ECOCA comes with a solar panel, insulated 6l cooking pot, 1 LED rechargeable household lamp, 1 LED rechargeable torch and USB ports for charging small items. Studies conducted with end users by organizations such as Caritas and World Food Program, have shown improvements to overall health and wellbeing, reducing exposure to harmful pollutants from smoke and usage of firewood, improvements in taste of food, income generation from USB port charging station and hours saved from collecting firewood being reinvested in education and skills training. The Spark Pesitho was founded on the belief that all should be able to have access to modern clean energy for cooking. Seeing a map over Africa showed that a large portion of the continent is without access to modern energy. This sparked a willingness to learn why. Understanding the why lead to the understanding of scale of lacking modern energy in that region of the world. While other continents where mowing a positive direction in relation to rural electrification sub Sarah Africa is still mowing in the wrong direction with the number of people living without access to electricity growing. This knowledge inspired the team to pursue the development of the ECOCA, off grid E-cooker

We offer water fountains for crowded places like city centres and festivals, so people can hygienically fill own water bottle or cup with cool refreshing water instead of buying single used water bottles. The solutions can be custom made to fit in any area and can be delivered with payment solution. When reducing single use plastics, we save on energy for production, transportation cost and handling of waste. Drink at km 0! One Wetap water fountain can yearly save the environment for 730.000 0,5 liters single used plastic bottles. The water fountains complies with Covid-19 regulations and recommendations to avoid contagion as there is no direct contact with the nozzle that delivers water. Our installations is doted with filters eliminating micro-plastics in water up to 0.2 micron. Its functionality will decrease the waiting time of getting a drink and reduce queues, but above all we are focused on providing environmental friendly solutions. We also provide an in-app method of paying, available to use with our PCUP digital mug , thanks to its built-in chip, paying and choosing the drink will take few seconds, reducing the waiting time for getting a drink.

Our vision is to make a new generation of user interfaces. Our applications will be easy to use and at the same time we will produce truly unique features which have never been seen before . Our vision is to create the finest user interfaces for stylus pens in the world. Our problem is “How to enhance learning thoroughly?” Every educational scientist is solving this same problem. Based on the knowledge we have on human learning we are very keen to find out what possibilities technology has to offer? Can learning be quantified, analyzed and enhanced with machine learning? Also our daily observations show us that there are a lot of management tasks which take take time both from teachers and students and the focus moves from learning to management. Therefore we dare to present another problem we are chasing: “How digital technology can support learning in ways that it makes learning easier, more motivating, less-dependent of teacher´s presence and approval''. Our solution: The user interfaces created by Pisara Learning offer intuitive ways to learn through digital devices. Our concept for learning is called Puro. Puro is easy to approach and use. It has unique properties: - Personalized assignments - Automated exercise checking - Learning analytics and tools for evaluation - Digital drawing made as simple as taking notes or drawing on paper Our features: Data collection Pisara is strongly utilizing the use of modern data collection. The solutions in edtech software robotics market do their best to automate - evaluation - creating assignments - giving feedback AI solutions Pisara AI solutions concentrate particularly in automated assignment creation. We are building an assignment library from where AI can pick suitable tasks for each user individually. This will be a first of a kind product in the world of edtech.

At KiteX, we're revolutionising energy with innovative wind turbines inspired by kites. Our mission? To make wind turbines that use significantly less material, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional turbines. Our journey began by envisioning wind turbines that combine the efficiency of kites and autonomy of drones. On this path we found an hybrid design with guy wire supported tower and blades could achieve almost the same material savings, but without any of the disadvantages. Our unique approach centres on patience, refining technology step by step, and focusing on sustainable solutions. We're scaling up production of the groundbreaking Wind Catcher, a portable off-grid turbine, while designing a larger, grid-connected successor. As we grow, we're seeking exceptional team members in marketing, customer support, technical, and electrical engineering. KiteX isn't just a workplace; it's an opportunity to drive clean energy and make history. Join us in shaping a sustainable future.
