PinMeTo was founded on the idea that there should be a smarter way for brands to manage online listings & profiles for all of their locations. Brands with lots of physical locations have to coordinate business info, local communication, and reputation management for all of their locations. It takes a frustrating amount of work, and inaccuracies are almost unavoidable – plus hard to catch. PinMeTo was born in 2013, when three friends – one salesman, two developers – set up shop in a startup incubator in Malmö, Sweden. After years of iterations and improvements, PinMeTo now has about 100 employees in 6 offices, and we’re trusted by enterprise companies like H&M, 7-Eleven, and Hertz. Think of PinMeTo as a really efficient messenger: you add or update location data in PinMeTo, and that data is shared with all of your locations and the networks they’re listed on.

Ruty är en matchningsplattform för hushållsnära tjänster som överbryggar den asymmetriska informationen som kännetecknar tillhandahållandet och konsumeringen av tjänsterna samtidigt som det stärker utövarnas möjligheter att välja rätt uppdrag till rätt pris och enligt gällande regler. Plattformen kommer även möjliggöra för utförare av tjänster att på ett smidigt och tryggt sätt bli egenanställda och sätta upp egen verksamhet. Genom att möjliggöra en direkt matchning mellan köpare och säljare där utövaren får möjlighet att välja sina kunder, sina uppdrag, arbetstider, prissättning och dessutom tillhandahålls en associationsform som innebär att utövarna inte behöver ha några förkunskaper om bolagsadministration eller skatteregler, förbättrar vi marknaden till att bli schysstare och inkluderande.

Cuiz Game Design is a game design studio that aims to communicate academic & scientific knowledge of our sustainable future through the experience of game playing. We design, develop and consult game learning solutions on topics such as climate change, sustainability & circular economy. Climate change and sustainability are no longer buzz words, but global priorities, new climate policies, and commitments create new jobs and demands for knowledge upgrade so we can do our job in the low carbon future. Our survey showed that working professionals are motivated to learn but often overestimate how much they know about sustainability and climate. This inspired us to create games that people can erase this illusion and learn what’s needed to be successful at their job

Skills to the Future, is developing a digital learning platform to help schools to provide supplementary STEM courses in topics where they lack the resources or competence. We think that our present education could be better. Now the content comes more from looking in the rear mirror, than through the windshield. It should take better account of the constant acceleration of our living environment. We want to help the schools to provide our youth education that trends to the future as much as possible. We cannot exactly tell what skills in 10 years are needed, but we can make good guesses and at least show them in the right direction. Our obligation is to give our youth a kick and a spark starting to learn new skills for the future. How we differentiate ourselves from the other course providers? Our pillars 4 are: #1 The quality of pedagogy first We align, curate, and orchestrate all our course material to achieve pedagogic competence and meet the quality requirements of the ‘Finnish Education Standards’. #2 The how: Blended project-based learning with a flipped approach Digital courses mostly rely only on the delivery of educational material. Our digital platform relies on blended open-ended project-based learning with a flipped approach. That means that also we deliver the educational material online but that’s only one-half of what we do. We also deliver teacher/educator lead workshops, Q&As. We want to ensure that the student really can utilize the information given and convert that to skills by practicing aka by doing homework. Just watching videos and answering some quizzes gives you the illusion you have now learned a skill! #3 High impact needs high completion rates By following and complying with the Finnish pedagogical guidelines we aim to raise the completion rate from Udemy like under 10% to over 80%. A raise in engagement is achieved also with help from our 4th pillar. #4 Co-operating and collaborating with the schools We aim to co-operate with the schools by trying to include our courses in each school’s learning curricula and embed them in the school’s teaching environment. We also aim to collaborate with schools by co-creating courses on topics they want. Searching co-workers with a calling I have been working on this project for a couple of years quite loosely. Soon, when the Helsinki Education Hub starts and opens its doors, we are applying to the EdTech Incubator program. So now is the time to onboard and start the cruise, isn’t it? A person on my wish list for co-founders and early team members could be: - a teacher, educator, course builder, or at least be interested in or somewhat familiar with pedagogy. Curating the courses would be one of the tasks - a tech guy who would run and tackle the Learning Management System or Virtual Learning Environment in all its complexities - a hacker, data guy, designer, or whoever who would join testing and building the product/service in the right direction and helping it grow - an audio/video person who would be in building the courses and participating in the marketing activities broadly understood - a content provider because we are going to build ourselves only some MVP’s - there are many other jobs and tasks you could do, so practically anyone who is self-motivated is welcomed to join! My primary target is to have an impact on my activities. Even though money helps in living, I would rather make a ding in the education universe than get wealthy. I prefer diversity in age, gender, and nationality and I am searching for like-minded people who want to share my calling. I am not inviting you to join right away. Working as a co-founder is like marriage, you just can’t quit when you feel like it. Therefore, it’s best for both parties just to make a small project together and after the experiment, we know how we like to proceed. Please contact me markku.porvari@mit.fi or just call +358 40 725 2547.

Far down below, in the caves of Stockholm, we are growing flavorful secrets well hidden from the city life above. To make the best use of the big spaces down here the plants grow vertically, which brings us more food in less space. The lives of our greens are closely monitored and lovingly nurtured by technology. We make sure to carefully store all data to grow wiser and more attentive to the unique needs of our little ones. And since we're in the middle of Stockholm, our greens find their way up to the local markets faster than you can say "Wow, that's fresh!"

Easy, Fast & Fair Claim Settlements. We are developing ValueChecker to be the global brains of insurance product claims. ValueChecker technology enables fast and accurate determination of the fair claim values of damaged products, their replacement alternatives and where those replacements can be bought today. We level the playing field to ensure the fairest outcome for both the insurer and their customers. The current method of claims evaluation is both labor intensive and arbitrary, resulting in a random and sometimes unfair damage compensation value to the customer. ValueChecker today helps numerous Insurers in Europe and beyond to deliver better service and save 20% on damage compensation and operations.

Mutonic is an IT procurement platform for the B2B market, with an ambition of making the process of buying IT- hardware and -software more convenient for companies of all sizes both in the private and public sector. We do this by gathering the entire network of vendors, distributors, and resellers on a one-stop platform, giving the companies full access to a large stock and competitive prices.

Through the Mutonic platform we offer them access to a large network of suppliers as well as many user-friendly features, that ultimately can save them both time and money, all while offering a fair market chance for the suppliers connected to the platform. We work every day to ensure our users of the platform can make a qualified decision that match their needs, when purchasing IT Hardware and Software.
