We build advanced, accessible and affordable software that proves the integrity of democratic processes and verifies the accuracy of voting results. At Assembly Voting, we believe that all elections are important. Whether they are large parliamentary or local, shareholder elections or elections for unions and associations. Everyone deserves a voting result that can be proven beyond any doubt because doubt undermines the democratic mandate, the perceived integrity of the organisation responsible for the election and overall trust in democracy. We empower customers to prove the accuracy of election results with end-to-end verifiable technology that builds on scientific research and advanced cryptographic protocols.

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.

Airplant ApS develops innovative and effective solutions to improve the air quality in office settings. Airplant increases the effect of nature's ability to purify and humidify air by combining plants and technology. 20-40 % of office workers experience dry indoor air. The feeling is triggered by dry air or chemicals which cause general discomfort. As you may know, plants reduce chemicals and humidify air. The Airplant system boosts the plant's natural way of working, and an airflow expands the treated area so that one single plant has the effect of 10 plants, corresponding to or better than comparable machines. Ventilation systems switch indoor air with fresh air. But fresh outdoor air is dry during the entire flu season so the Airplant system will humidify the fresh air and also reduce the amount of harmful chemicals. Sustainability is at the heart of our product, our production and everything we do in our company, guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We strive to make the world a better place to live: Airplant's mission is to support health at the office. We love to work with ideas that solve important problems and to bring the products to life, to do product development, prototyping and the initial low volume production. We do our own research and development - standing on the shoulders of NASA, among others. Do you see the potential in a partnership, an investment or would you like to work at Airplant? Please do not hesitate to contact us. Next step: Introduce the Airplant product for offices to the market this fall. Attract commercial competencies to the Airplant company. Frequently given answers: We have a PCT patent pending for the Airplant system. We have a strong partner for sales and service who will bring our product to the Danish market. We are always interested in exploring new ways to improve indoor climate in cooperation with others. The Airplant system yields plenty of opportunity for interaction with other products, e.g. to support solutions for smart buildings and smart cities.

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!"

Orbit's objective is to drive the transition to recycled plastic. We are a one stop shop for recycled plastic and plastic recycling. That means that our customers either have a plastic waste or a demand for a recycled plastic material. There are several challenges associated with plastic recycling and that is the reason why there is gap between supply and demand. There is a huge demand for recycled plastic, but only 10% plastic is recycled in Europe. That is the equation Orbit is solving.

At LifeBoard ApS we are designing the new generation of public rescue equipment, a rescue board, that makes a difference. The LifeBoard® ensures that beachgoers as civil rescuers have the necessary tool at hand to safely stabilize an accidents out in the water.

The aim with the LifeBoard® is to avoid civil rescuers from becoming a victim in the at- tempt of rescueing another and to decrease swimming-related fatal drownings by 50%. With the LifeBoard® civil rescuers can reach a distressed faster and safer. Safety to avoid a fatal drowning of the civil rescues and/or victims.

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!
