dadorg

The problems: 1. Countless Africans lost money because they trusted someone in Africa to conduct a financial transaction or local project on their behalf and got abused. 2. Current E-commerce marketplaces focusing on Africa do not necessarily take into account the diaspora. 3. They do not take into account the consumer to consumer (C2C) aspect as well as the micro and/or informal ecosystems. 4. No easy way exists to find trustworthy partners and suppliers in Africa. 5. Weak business digitization in general and, in particular, lack of several strong E-commerce marketplaces for Africa. The solution : Therefore we created dadorg.com. First to solve the problem of Africans from the diaspora (outside the continent of Africa) wishing to build houses, buy land or make similar personal projects in Africa and who could not find anyone trustworthy enough to carry these projects out with. The idea slowly moved towards all types of projects and finally towards all kinds of products and services, to become an E-commerce marketplace geared towards the African diaspora and Africa in general without ignoring the global inherent nature of any E-commerce platform.

Trigger Stocks AB

We are building a database of stock markets shares related events that are expected to trigger a share price fluctuation. Knowledge of these events (called triggers) will enable people to make event driven decisions in stock market investments and trading. For the future the aim is to be able to offer investments suggestions based on automated analysis of stocks price behavior influences by triggering events. The current stage can be seen on triggerstocks.se, that we officially launched June 1st 2020.

Colossyan

Colossyan is creating synthetic videos for advertisers to help them reach their audience more effectively and engage them more efficiently with personalized video content. Creating a single video as an advertisement is not going to reach many kinds of people, because it is not fit for everyone's personal needs. Not only advertisers lose a lot of money, but video production costs do not allow them to scale their product videos to a higher amount. This problem is affecting the whole advertising market world-wide and with our technology companies from small to large size are going to benefit extremely well by generating a larger Return on Investment. At Colossyan we are building state-of-the-art machine learning models to manipulate the facial expressions and voices of the individuals within the adds we are scaling and personalizing. We put a lot of effort into making it as realistic as possible. By using this so called "Deepfake" technology, we are able to create dozens of videos in relatively short time compared to actually filming them. The founders have been part of similar deepfake technology projects and we know the whole field around it. We strive to be an ethical AI company, we are going to have very strict contracts for the usage of our technology and not going to allow any other entity than us to operate it. We believe in the synthetic revolution of the 21st century and we are really eager to see what we can achieve with such a new type of applied science.

The national teams are cross-continental, primarily consisting of two people from the Nordics and two people from the African nation in question. The primary responsibility of the National Teams is to build an infrastructure to enable young doers to do novel entrepreneurial initiatives in the country in question. National Teams have free hands to build up the operations as they see fit based on the challenges and opportunities of the nation. We are currently looking for people for all 54 African nations starting with Rwanda, Tunisia, Mozambique, Uganda, Gambia, and Ghana. However, if you have contacts or experiences from other countries go for it, join the national team for that country.

Sideflow

Sideflow is circular economy service, who is developing a service to help textile companies eliminate waste. We do it by building a platform that connects industrial sidestreams to potential utilizers. From all the material used in textile manufacturing in Finland, up to 30% ends up directly into waste, most commonly as cutting waste. Global research suggests that the amount can be even higher, up to 45% when also deadstock is included. We are creating a service and a platform that recognizes the material waste in an early phase and connects it to potential utilizers - companies that can use the rescued material in their products as it is, or after it is processed to new materials. Through our work in textile productions, we recognized the issue, and ran experiments and pilots to find solutions. In the pilots we have been able to eliminate waste by channeling the waste to new products. There lies undiscovered value in industrial sidestream, both for the economy and the ecosystem, and our mission is to recover that.

Videolink

Videolink er en unikt hightech kommunikationsystem til lowtech brugere - en slags ”Facetime for Oldies” via TV. Vi ønsker at styrke kontakten mellem generationerne i familien og inkludere eks. ældre familiemedlemmer i deres familie via brug af moderne bruger- og ældrevenlig kommunikations-teknologi. Vores mission er ganske enkelt at fjerne afsavn og minimere ensomheden. Vi har udviklet et helt unikt kommunikations-værktøj (som rent faktisk er en verdensnyhed), der muliggør, at eks. en beboer på et plejehjem, kan kommunikere med sine pårørende via videotale ved brug af eget TV. Og dette helt uden brug af nogen form for tastatur eller fjernbetjening. Det hele foregår automatisk ved, at "den som kalder op” (eks. en pårørende) modtager en SMS på ens smartphone, iPad eller PC, og så klikker vedkommende på dette link, og så starter modtagerens TV automatisk op, og ”videolink samtalen” kan begynde. Når eks. den pårørende "afslutter" videosamtalen, så slukker modtagerens TV helt automatisk igen (eller skifter helt automatisk tilbage til flow TV igen). Ideen opstod bl.a. ved, at vi har oplevet meget "ensomhed" på bl.a. plejehjem, hvor manglende kontakt til de pårørende syntes at påvirke beboernes livskvalitet. Desuden har vi et ønske om "at skabe lidt mere liv" hos den ældre del af befolkningen, som måske ikke er helt så teknologivante som gennemsnittet af befolkningen. Mange har et uopdaget behov for at holde deres familierelationer vedlige, men er måske "teknologi-skræmte", "teknologiske analfabeter", eller mangler motoriske færdigheder, er demente mm. og derfor måske har svært ved at kunne håndtere en iPad eller en smartphone. Det kan vi løse med Videolink, som er utroligt simpelt at anvende og desuden ikke kræver nogen fysisk interageren hos modtageren af videokaldet. Med Videolink, vil vi forbinde familier igen, som f.eks. pga alderdom, sygsom, demens etc. er blevet adskilt fra deres familier f.eks. ved at et ældre familiemedlem er flyttet på plejehjem, og dermed måske geografisk er distanceret fra deres familier. Desuden har den igangværende COVID-19 situation vanskeliggjort besøg på eks. plejehjem. Med Videolink håber vi dermed at kunne øget livskvaliteten og reducere ensomhed og afsavn for familier generelt. Vi giver de ældre borgere, som har skabt vores samfund, "en del af deres liv tilbage".

Satcube

We are a start-up based in Gothenburg. At the core of our company is our lightweight satellite terminal, capable of providing high speed internet at any location on earth.

Our advanced terminal then interprets this signal - an internet connection has been established! In our next development phase, we aim to offer web services where clients easily can manage, control and update the Satcube terminal online.

Plastic Change

Plastic Change en dansk miljøorganisation med et ambitiøst internationalt sigte Vi arbejder hårdt med at knække den stigende kurve over plastikspild. Plastik er overalt – på land og til vands. Tre generationers forbrug af plastik har sat sine spor. Kun en lille del bliver genbrugt eller destrueret. Resten ligger i naturen i hundredvis af år. Vi arbejder for at reducere vores enorme plastikproduktion ved blandt andet at eliminere unødvendig engangsplastik fra vores produkter, ved at sætte bedre rammer for hvordan vi designer produkter til mere genbrug, og det plastik vi ikke kan genbruge, skal vi kunne genanvende. Vi arbejder både på politisk niveau, sammen med befolkningen, i samarbejde med innovationspartnere, på internationalt niveau, sammen med forskere og med at uddanne vores fremtidige generationer om problemet. Plastic Change består af et fast dedikeret team og en række uundværlige frivillige kræfter. Alle yder en stor, uvurderlig og professionel indsats for, at organisationen kan gennemføre sine ambitioner om at knække kurven for plastikproduktion og hermed plastikforurening.
