Lokalist

Who we are Each year in Denmark, over 2 million people upgrade their smartphones, but few have a clear idea of what to do with their previous device. Of course, they could sell it or trade it in, but today these options are primarily perceived as a hassle, a scam, or a waste of time. This results in Danes often having two or more smartphones wasting in a dusty drawer. Our mission to reduce this waste and to make the best use of their potential by providing a transparent, fair, and simple way to ensure that our old technology gets used to its fullest extent. The user can then support sustainable causes through our platform with the value of their used phones. Why do we exist? Used phones are extremely valuable. In fact, every year we estimate that at least one billion kroner worth of used phones enters the market in Denmark alone. On top of this, smartphone production has tremendous environmental and social impacts that are seldom talked about. Making the best use of minerals and labor that has already been put into our phones is the least we can do. Through research, we found that most people do not sell or trade-in their devices today for various reasons. However, over 90% of people responded that they would donate the value that their used phone could be sold for, entirely or in part, to philanthropic causes so long as it was easy and transparent. Therefore, not only are the causes we support genuinely good, but they provide the motivation to awaken a large and growing market. Today there is no platform where this can easily be done. Lokalist aims to fill this gap in the market and be the platform where people and businesses can easily donate all or part of the value of their used technology to support sustainable actions we all want to see more of. What happens to the used phones? The used phones we receive are safely wiped, complying with Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They then have a 92% chance to be refurbished or harvested for working components. The semi-new phones are sold in markets across the world to be loved by future users. The phones that cannot be refurbished are responsibly recycled, making sure to reuse minerals that are otherwise impactful to mine. Our values As a company, we focus heavily on integrating the Nordic values of transparency, honesty, community, and simplicity into our mission. This is not typical of our competitors in this space. By being active in the carrying-out of the sustainable causes with our partners, and showing our users instantly how their device could support them, we believe we can help make the best use of our e-waste while spreading the love.

Introdus

In Denmark alone, 800,000 people changed jobs in 2019. Of these, 1 out of 4 quit their new job within the first year. A failed hire comes with an average total cost of DKK 200,000 to 1.500,000.  Wouldn’t it be amazing if there was a tool, that made employees perform better and faster, reaching their hiring objectives early and staying longer with the organization?   We present to you: Introdus the Pre & Onboarding platform – the tool to make this happen, easy and cost effectively. It's Easy!  At Introdus, we believe that there is a better way to do Pre & Onboarding. A more simple, intuitive and successful way - for HR, the company and the new employee. Through various years, where we experienced unsuccessful Pre & Onboarding (if any), we concluded that the industry needed a tool which could improve the employee's Pre & Onboarding experience while being easy to implement and create. The result? A platform so simple, elegant and intuitive that new employees feel prepared, informed and as an integrated part of the organisation from the day they sign their contract. We are obsessively passionate about introdus, and our mission is to put the people, the employees, at the centre of pre- and onboarding by reaching them anytime, anywhere. Thereby, we create a simple, user-friendly and highly intuitive employee journey. Our platform has already won the trust of both national and international companies which, through successful Pre & Onboarding, have increased e.g. higher profitability and productivity. We have 4 important company values: - Personal (Our team members will be given the space to be the best they can be.) - Perfection (100% attention and ownership from idea to execution) - Present (Simplicity always beats overengineering)   - Precision (We consider it an honor to be early) We like to challenge the status quo & having a F****** party will we do it :)

Sesam import AS

Sesam imports will initially import products from Asia, mainly from the Philippines in the beginning. The reason for starting the company is that Filipinos are struggling to find Filipino and Asian food in Asian stores in Norway, there is a big gap in the selection of stores that offer food from Asia. Many foreigners living in Norway craves food and taste from their homeland and one of them are Filipinos. As of 2021, access to Filipino products is still limited while the Filipino community is growing. Therefore, we are very grateful to start this business. We will offer food, beverage, fruits, and vegetables from the entire Asia to customers in Norway. We will sell them online on our online shop and Facebook store to private customers in Norway, we will also offer our products to businesses in Norway such as Asian stores and restaurants and online sellers. We will offer the most selling products but also offer the products that we know the Asian communities are missing and having trouble to obtain in Norway. Our goal is to have the best and biggest product assortment in store in Norway. We will have a cold storage with some fresh fruit and vegetables but most of this order have to be ordered in advance to provide loss of goods due to short shell life. Frozen food like fish and meat will we have on cold storage for fast delivering.
