📍 It all started with an idea of building a bridge! Aspiring Asia is an initiative that aims to bring together Nordics and Asian countries’ young generation to connect, inspire, and empower each other in creating impactful changes. We are a young pioneer NGO with amazing potential ahead. We are now growing our rapid forward-moving organization and looking for new driven team members to join us! 👋 In case we haven’t met before, here’s Aspiring Asia in a nutshell: Aspiring Asia is all about young people being in charge, collaborating and learning from each other. Aspiring Asia initiates and supports youth-led grassroot projects to create positive social impacts through adapting and utilising Nordics’ core strengths: Entrepreneurship, Entertainment and Education. The initiative aims to spread to 48 countries in Asia to build a community of young changemakers. Aspiring Asia supports high-quality education, facilitates sustainable development of entrepreneurship, and increases global wellbeing and happiness. Aspiring Asia, as a platform, strives to make relevant connections to develop projects in each specific country, to support scaling of successful youth-led initiatives across Asia, with the utmost support from the Nordics. We need your help to support the young generations of Asia to take the first steps on a global scale and achieve their goals! In Aspiring.Asia we do projects in the following fields: - EDUCATION: Aspiring.Asia is about accessing the best education for all. - ENTREPRENEURSHIP: Aspiring.Asia is about economic and social development through Entrepreneurship. - ENTERTAINMENT: Aspiring.Asia is about engaging learners through entertainment involving simple learning strategies that revolve around fun. Aspiring.Asia seeks to provide the needs and feed the aspirations of the youth in Asia as inspired by the efforts of Ambitious.Africa and Adelante Americas. And Yisss, we are family!

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.

In the middle of summer last year (2020) Richard and Lukas had a conversation about how the Swedish youth was so engaged in the Hypebeast culture and how unreasonably expensive it was. That was when this idea was created and throughout the past year it has evolved into something far greater than just a price comparison website for expensive clothing, SaleAid was born. SaleAid aims to create a new kind of price comparison website, which targets on finding the best discounted prices for the user. With a more user friendly platform that offers the user a broader variety of functions when searching for the best price on their product. In the current global market more and more shopping is being done online. During the current pandemic the amount of people choosing to shop from home has increased immensely. With countless stores available at the tip of your fingers, people tend to be more cost conscious. Since they can easily compare prices on the same product sold at different online stores. We all know price comparison websites already exist to help customers find the best prices. However, we have found that there are many aspects of the online shopping needs that are not met by the current price comparison websites. Most of the existing websites provide the customer with the best retail price. With SaleAid we want to change how price comparison websites operate. Our goal is to build a modern customer oriented website with one main focus, finding the best sales for the customers desired product. Ultimately resulting in the best possible price, hence discounted prices are almost always lower than the best retail price. By creating an account on SaleAid, the customer will be offered a price monitoring function which means the customer will not personally have to monitor the prices regularly. Instead the user is supplied with a notification when their desired product's price has changed. With or without an account all users will be able to see the price history of all products. If the user is in desperate need of a product, they can also choose to be shown the best offer in a physical store closest to them. In addition to the functions named above, SaleAid is also unique by providing the customer with a broader variety of retailers. We offer the user the ability to with just one click expand their search and find products on sale, not only domestically, but for example in the north or in Europe. Making international shopping the most affordable and accessible it has ever been. Apart from all the neat functions, we aim for SaleAid to be used differently than current PCWs. We do not want SaleAid to become just another PCW that users spend less than a minute on before moving on. We want to create a platform for users to browse and shop on, not just look up one specific product. We want to become the marketplace for the price conscious online shopper.

Our winged shirts combined with accompanying activities help parents who want to nurture children by unlocking their imagination and unveiling their potential. My Wings has created a unique product for the children’s clothing/ dress up market. Each of the wings has a story card and access to accompanying activities that are intended to be playfully utilized by parents (or other primary caretaker) and children to strengthen their bond while at the same time support in the children’s development of qualities such as self-esteem, confidence, communication and courage to name a few, plus introducing concepts around sustainable development. These are qualities that we consider essential for children’s healthy personal development and essential to “soar in life” (aka nurturing their “inner wings”). Our team value opportunities to creat deeper connected experiences between parents and children by engaging in developmental and quality activities. In a sense we are developing an experience to help parents of children between 3-8 years who want to nurture the healthy development of children by reducing damaging negative beliefs and promoting playful positive development.

Elonroad develops a high-tech electric road system – it auto charges all types of electric vehicles when parked as well as when driving and the system is equipped with IoT sensors and software that captures and analyses transportation data. The solution is a conductive charging infrastructure designed for all electric vehicles (EVs), e.g., buses and trucks, cars, taxis, that operate in urban and highway conditions with the capacity to transfer up to 300kW with 98% efficiency. EVs that connect to Elonroad obtain direct power drive energy and charge their batteries to continue driving when disconnected from the electric road system (ERS). The power is distributed in very short segments of 1 meter and is unlocked by encrypted radio communication between the vehicle and the rail. Our ERS is equipped with IoT sensors and software that captures and analyses transportation data to generate intelligent feedback that interacts in real-time with moving and stationary vehicles. The digital road can facilitate the transition to autonomous vehicles by adding safety as it can inform about coming obstacles on the road, traffic movements and local deviations of temperature and weather conditions. Elonroad is the perfect union of disruptive tech and traditional engineering. Our vision is to electrify the entire transport sector and make fossil fuel a thing of the past, without increasing the demand of batteries. We will be the enabler of electrification of vehicles just like fiber has been for digitalization. We can contribute to reducing road transport CO2 emissions by more than 50%.
