Maka

Maka is a designer of premium quality bags, clothing, boards, and apparel for skaters currently launching worldwide with our first two products; water-resistant skateboard bags in two unique designs that make transporting your board 100x easier. Who is behind Maka? Maka is driven by a dedicated team in Medellín, Colombia. Maka is the brainchild of two skaters; Diego Pineda (CEO) and Jorge Calle (Lead Designer). Diego was born in Colombia but fled to Arizona, USA, with his family in 1999 due to violence. He picked up skating immediately and would go on to work for skate shops and tour the country with a team. He returned in 2008 to study International Business, although he never put down his board, certain that he would find a way to make a living out of skating. Jorge was born in raised in a small ghetto in Medellín, Colombia. While many of his friends found their way into drugs and violence, Jorge found his way forward in life either on top of a skateboard or behind a sewing machine. His true passion is to create without limits, to try, to fail, and to try again until he’s created the best there possibly could be. So Diego, why did you start Maka? I live a pretty simple life philosophy; I do what I enjoy doing. However, like everyone (especially skaters), it can be hard to do what you really enjoy and pay the bills. I’ve always looked up to the skate culture for inspiration ever since I started to understand it – the style, the clothes, the street, the attitude to be against the norm of society… It’s a close-knit community, although it’s an individual activity. You don’t need a team to be able to skate. It’s a way of self-expression, and that, for me, is the starting point of it all. What is the ambition of Maka? There are not many cultures that truly accept everyone. Skateboarding does. White, black, green, yellow, purple, tall, short, weird, funny, cool – everyone is accepted because it’s about your individuality. For the majority of my life, most of the people I’ve met come from skateboarding. It all comes down to having fun. Learning, falling, and getting back up. So, why does all of this relate to ambition? Because, while we’re taking the brand worldwide, we also want to seize the opportunity to support more kids with what skating has given us; a way to express ourselves, a sense of purpose, and life-long friends. Skating made our lives what they are, and now it’s time to give back. 10% of all profits go towards supporting social causes here in the city of Medellín. To follow us on our mission, we invite you to follow our social media to help more children find paths away from the drugs and violence that are still present in this city.

Vattn

Vattn enables clean drinking water for all! We solve the difficulties of managing private water quality. In Sweden, 2.4 million drink water from private wells. These individuals with private wells are expected to follow the same water regulations as municipalities in order to maintain water quality but without access to biological and chemical expertise! We will facilitate water management through our software and connected services by providing guidance with the analysis, call to actions, including external data and new technology to make the access to clean freshwater easier, capable and more efficient.

NAUST Robotics

NAUST Robotics upgrades agriculture with autonomous drones. The main problem we are solving is bird damage on farms, which can easily be 50-70% if the land is close to the water. As current bird scaring techniques are ineffective in the long run, farmers are exposed to damage, losing over 50.000 EUR per 100 Ha (wheat fields). We solve this with an autonomous drone flying over the fields, equipped with speakers. Emitting special sounds that birds recognize as danger, we will push them out of the crops, back to natural areas where they can feed without conflict. A landing platform laying on the field will recharge and shelter the drone, allowing the whole system to operate autonomously. Furthermore, the user will be able to check the real time status and modify the settings from our mobile app! Additionally, in the future we aim to equip special cameras on the bottom of the drone to collect high quality periodical images for crop monitoring practices. This will lead to save time and resources for the farmer, such as tons of chemical pesticides thrown to the field without knowledge. Our vision is to implement affordable autonomous drone solution to automate simple tasks and save time for society.

Arctic Farming

We are Arctic Farming and our mission is to disrupt food production by making indoor farming mainstream. We believe that conventional farming is no longer sustainable. Shipping food around the world not only degrades product quality and nutritional values, but it also produces a significant amount of emissions. Why do this when technology allows us to farm fresh food 100% locally? Our scalable, fully automated and IoT-based vertical farming modules can be used as individual systems in individual restaurants or retails stores, or as highly scalable industrial farms providing fresh produce directly to wholesale, restaurant or retail customers. Each module is a fully automated and controlled ecosystem with smart technologies that optimise the amount of light, water and nutrients as well as a number of other variables. This enables the plants to grow faster, more efficiently and with the highest possible quality. All of our farms are operated through a cloud-based farming software that gives us full control over the farms. Once you plug in the plants, automation takes over and the module will let you know when the produce is ready for harvest. Using vertical farming technology, we are able to decouple farming from the environment. This enables us to produce the highest quality herbs and leafy greens anywhere at any time. And even better, while saving the environment one plant at a time.

Onbaz

Onbaz is a marketplace to help brands and influencers show off and sell their products online with Live Video Shopping. We're sort of like a YouTube for e-commerce, where instead of showing pictures of products, the seller talks about their products in a video stream. The buyers can watch it live, or on demand since the stream is recorded. The seller can also build a following, which is really powerful and interesting for influencers and brands that work with other social media platforms. It's really easy to start a stream and the only thing you need is a phone or a webcam, and some great products of course :) Live Video Shopping started in China 2016, and have already reached over 150 Billion USD in sales in 2020, and we're among the first players in this space in Europe.

Kitchenswaps

Kitchenswaps is an online marketplace for commercial kitchen space, matching kitchen owners with food businesses. High rental and operating costs and low profit margins for commercial kitchen owners (think restaurants, cafe's, you name it!) has resulted in a rise in bankruptcies, further compounded by the pandemic. At the same time, there is a large shortage of commercial kitchens, limiting food entrepreneurs to start/expand their business, preventing them from vital development. Our 'win-win' circular solution optimizes unused kitchen spaces by renting it out to businesses in need of flexible and affordable licenced kitchens. This maximizes revenue for kitchen owners and minimizes barriers to entry through easier access for food businesses. We are Emma & Joachim and we are two passionate foodies on a mission to make culinary innovation accessible to all!
