Bright Day Graphene offers the industry a sustainable, premium graphene made from biomass, optimized for use in energy storage and high tech products. Graphene, with its electrical properties and its 2D-structure, has the potential to revolutionize the technology industry, but it even though it has been around for more then ten years now, that revolution has not yet happend. One of the biggest reasons for that, is that the mass produced graphene on the market today (Grapene Nano Platelets, GNP) does not have the properties needed for that market. The high quality graphene on the market; (Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD, Graphene) can't be produced in large quantities and is far too expensive to base commercial products on. There is a hole in the market here and with our green graphene we want to bridge the gap between these two. Our material, that can be produced in large quantities, is a graphene powder, just like the GNP, but with flakes up to one million times bigger and much, much thiner. This gives us better electrical conductivity and higher transparency, properties that is more like the properties of CVD-graphene. We also call our graphene green, because it is made from a sustainable source and we use no toxic chemicals in our production. We strive to prove that a product can be both environmentally friendly AND high preforming.

Modern voice assistance technology, using conversational AI, makes the interaction with Enzo, your personal driver assistant, as intuitive and relaxed as a normal conversation.

Student Survival Guide is a community-driven project that is gathering in one platform all important information about university life in a foreign country. Students can also find tips from former students, learn more about daily life in the new country, and discover local gems, only other students know about. We are also running a weekly live broadcast where students can engage in a conversation about current events in the country and the world. We provide people with information that is crucial to a successful and happy life in Denmark. And we make sure that the information is correct, easy to understand, and actionable. We are making sure that we include the community, answer questions that people are asking, and touch on topics, which most other publicly funded organizations cannot. After a successful year on the market, we have learned how to communicate key information in an effective way, either through videos, articles or live streams. After our platform grew, we understood from peoples feedback that they needed a strong sense of community. Therefore, we are organizing weekly meetings in Aarhus, where all like-minded students can meet and work together on common goals. We have developed the project to it’s near full-market potential. We are present on all key platforms where the target group is and we have established an organizational structure that is recruiting more members. We are technologically capable to execute large projects and collaborations. We are part of AU Incubator since 2019, where we have held conversations with startup advisors. Consequently, we are using AU Incubator as a meeting point for the community that builds Student Survival Guide. Student Survival Guide is run by Michael Mares and Jaroslav Vyhnak, both 24 year old Master’s Degree Students in Economics and Business Administration at Aarhus University in Denmark. However, Student Survival Guide is a community-run project where a key asset are the contributors that write and share their knowledge. The contributor can be anyone with experience of the Danish way of life and schooling. So far, SSG has had more than 20 contributors. All of the contributors are bachelor’s/master’s degree students from international backgrounds. Contributors form teams that are responsible for various areas of the project, such as blogging, social media, video editing, news research and community management. All of the teams have their respective managers, who collaborate together to ensure proper project development. We have so far been able to reach more than 100,000 people through social media, gained more than 5,000+ followers on social media and got our videos viewed more than 43,000 times. On top of this, more than 10,000 students have already read our blogs and ‘survival guides’ to Denmark, on our website. We got the project to the point where many of the students prefer to contact us with their questions rather than relying on their universities or other ‘resourceful’ institutions.
