Flox is an agtech startup which wants to use robotics and AI to enhance farmers' lives. The worst thing for a farmer is to see their crops destroyed and, nowadays, one of the main causes of that are wild animals. Damages amount to billions just in Sweden, but the problem is global and there are currently no efficient solutions. At Flox we use autonomous drones and AI-based image recognition to create virtual fences around the cultivated areas to protect farmers' properties from wild animals such as wild boars and roe deers.

YOU KNOW IT Sitting at a Restaurant and trying to get in contact with a waiter to either order or pay the bill. You can see that the staff is busy and not very easy to get eye contact with. In some cases it takes 10-15 minutes to either order or pay the bill. THE SOLUTION IS It’s a software developed to assist the staff while serving all the visiting guests by allowing the guests to order and pay through their own smartphones. This application minimizes waiting time and dispersion of bacteria, it eliminates queues and increases up sales. Despite all of that it’s also a direct marketing channel between restaurant and guest. Vision: Quickit’s vision is to be the leading Scandinavian ordering and paying application when dining in. Mission: Quickit aims to streamline the service by assisting the waiters and become the quickest and easiest way to order and pay. Problems solved with Quickit - Minimizing waiting time - Eliminating queues - Empty tables - Streamlining service - Up sale - Marketing directly to the guests We were a bunch of girls who enjoyed meeting up at cafés to chat about all and nothing for hours, as a break from our exams and boyfriends. We would buy a café latte and then one more and sometimes we would have wine instead. The only problem we met again and again, were the time we had to wait for the waiter in between our orders and mainly when we wanted to pay the bill and leave. Often the result were that we wouldn’t order the extra café latte or glass of wine, because it simply took to long time. The subject of our conversation then changed into how we could solve this problem and optimize our visits and so the concept began to take shape. Not only would the concept solve the problem that gave us the idea, but it’s beneficial for so many other reasons. Like during Covid where we need to social distance and the restaurants gets a direct marketing channel to their guests to promote themselves and set up nice deals to fill their tables. With my (Anne Sofie, Founder) 7 year industry knowledge from being a waiter and manager alongside with my studies, I could then put together the two needs from respectively a business and an user and create a beneficial concept that would make the restaurant experience even better!

Lalatoys is a new startup, building a sharing economy retail service for children’s toys. The concept is simple: you sign up and pick the toys you want to play with. Whenever the toy becomes needless for your child, send it back and get something else. Billions of dollars are put into the children's toy market yearly, and of these, millions of unwanted toys are send to landfills every year. What is even worse is that a high amount of children's toys are produced from non-biodegradable plastic. By swapping instead of shopping, we can let our children play in a more eco-friendly way. We launched in Marts 2021 and spend more than a year to adapt and develop the concept to fit the market. Now we have had +1000 subscribers and expect to grow steady through the next year! Aside for daily operation and development of the platform and its features which is essential for us to be a scalable business. The idea started, when I, Dinesan, became father for the first time last year. We bought a lot of toys for our daughter (and still do), but in the end it showed that most of the toys our daughter didn't play with after a very short period - it was quite frustrating that we spend money of something, we either would loose money on reselling and would pile up together with the rest. Currently we are three people in the team: Dinesan Rasiah (Founder - CEO) Christian Nielsen Henriksen (Co-founder CTO) Nicolai Varney (CMO) Jannie Varaney (COO)
