Parents' problem. Every 5-th child is born with dyslexia: an inherited neuro-biological condition that makes the process of decoding written symbols challenging. In most European countries, the USA and the UK children with dyslexia are entitled for a free state-funded help. In an ideal educational system a highly professional teacher identifies challenges of a struggling learner, the child is quickly referred to a state-funded assessment, every child with reading disabilities gets immediate free remediation. In the educational systems as they are in the post-pandemic era we see persistent acute shortages of qualified literacy and special education teachers and waiting lists of between 6 and 24 months for dyslexia assessment. Only children who are in the bottom 3 to 10% of their peers for reading ability can rely on free help. Parents and schools are forced to turn to private tutors and programs and are always torn between the desire to help struggling kids and the fear of ruining the financial situation of their families and organizations. Schools' problem. The current debate over inclusion in the society revealed the main educational problem that has not yet been solved: as classrooms become more diverse, the teacher is challenged to differentiate more. The legislation mandates that every child with disability is provided with an individualized learning plan, but the inclusive classroom that provides such advantages is difficult to implement, while the only extra support that a teacher gets is a university student or other inexperienced trainee.

Peur is a timeless brand made for the formidable man. It holds the key to impressive, intense and manner-like attire tailored for gentlemen across the world. The story of Peur starts from a world renowned waterwall in Norway named Steindalsfossen. It’s level of versatility in various seasons makes this waterfall unique in the resemblance of Peurs’ concept; It roars when the time is right and has a level of complexity and perfection very few waterfalls do. This harmony is what Peur seeks to visualize in the form of high-end fashion suits and labelling. The story of Peur has been merged through a marriage between Nordic minimalism and exclusive Italian fabrics. The constellation of famous, dark and mystic Nordic granite mixed with the freshness of wool from across the Italian meadows makes the brand a reputable player in the men’s fashion industry. Peur is not the everyday brand you might think of when you imagine a standard bespoke brand. Peur is unique. It’s a family. A family he is a part of. He who surrounds himself with the dapper individuals. The one who makes visions into reality yet keeps his values real. He is a man with huge self-esteem – yet keeps himself private with the mindset of creating his own world. A world not bound by the laws of any given society, rather by the intellectual properties of likeminded individuals who share the same vision and a non-existing level of atrocities.

Solstorm Rocket Propulsion makes the next generation of rocket engines using hybrid propulsion technology and 3d-printed fuel cellsAs the market for commercial space industries matures we are seeing smaller and smaller satellites being built and with it, increasing demand for small satellite launchers providing dedicated launchesAs existing engines are mainly developed by government agencies, military providers with non-export policies, and competing launch vehicle providers, most market entrants are forced to develop all their own engine designs from scratch. This is a major bottleneck in the development of smaller launch vehicles, forcing every actor to go through the same R&D process before they can perform their actual business services. By providing a commercially available off-the-shelf rocket engine design for the launch vehicle's upper stage, we want to save these launch companies the initial years of testing and research needed, letting our customers skip the r&d-heavy initial process of engine development and go straight to value-generating satellite launches. Reducing the time from inception to launch by several years, we relieve rocket launcher companies of the insecurity and stress related to the development of rocket engines and let them go straight to launch, bringing more cargo to orbit.
