PESITHO ApS

PESITHO Pesitho is a Danish based enterprise, committed to providing affordable and clean energy solutions for cooking to marginalized and vulnerable people around the world. We have developed the ECOCA solar powered electric cook stove, to meet the daily cooking and energy needs to families living in off grid areas. Pesitho has established a locally run co-operative outside of the Bidibidi Refugee Settlement in Northern Uganda, from where stoves are assembled, distributed, and serviced by refugee residents and members of the host community. The company was founded in 2018 and has a combined experience of more than 30 years in the renewable energy industry. The Problem we are solving Currently, 4 billion people around the world lack access to clean, efficient, and affordable access to energy for cooking. Polluting fuels and technologies for cooking have a detrimental impact of health, nutrition, gender, and the environment, hindering the process of a sustainable development, in many cases, in already fragile settings. The lack of progress in clean cooking, reportedly costs the world more than $2.4 trillion each year, driven by adverse impacts on health, climate, and gender equality. Left unaddressed, communities will continue face multiple adverse consequences, that are further amplified by poverty, climate change and future global pandemics. To solve this problem Providing access to an affordable and sustainable technology for cooking with the ECOCA solar powered electric cook seeks to address energy security not just for cooking but also to reduce environmental issues like deforestation, pollution, also gender inequality and poverty. Research and design for our stove was conducted with residents of the Bidibidi Refugee Settlement in Northern Uganda, where pilot testing permitted additional adjustments, allowing for a stove specifically designed to meet the cooking needs of vulnerable groups of people living in off grid areas. The ECOCA comes with a solar panel, insulated 6l cooking pot, 1 LED rechargeable household lamp, 1 LED rechargeable torch and USB ports for charging small items. Studies conducted with end users by organizations such as Caritas and World Food Program, have shown improvements to overall health and wellbeing, reducing exposure to harmful pollutants from smoke and usage of firewood, improvements in taste of food, income generation from USB port charging station and hours saved from collecting firewood being reinvested in education and skills training. The Spark Pesitho was founded on the belief that all should be able to have access to modern clean energy for cooking. Seeing a map over Africa showed that a large portion of the continent is without access to modern energy. This sparked a willingness to learn why. Understanding the why lead to the understanding of scale of lacking modern energy in that region of the world. While other continents where mowing a positive direction in relation to rural electrification sub Sarah Africa is still mowing in the wrong direction with the number of people living without access to electricity growing. This knowledge inspired the team to pursue the development of the ECOCA, off grid E-cooker

Ence

Scroll all the way down to see open positions! Ence is a Norwegian marketplace gathering sustainable brands in one place. Together we offer a wide range of everyday products, produced consciously. We work to gather as socially and environmentally sustainable producers as possible in one place, with the aim of making the path to ethical choices shorter for Norwegian consumers. The company was founded June 2020 after the founder's own personal experiences with trying to find ethical and sustainable brands to shop from, but feeling like it was such a time-consuming process. People who want to make good, conscious choices when shopping, should not have to spend hours surfing from one web shop to another to find products they need and background check them. This pushed the founder to create a marketplace, strictly for ethical and the most environmental friendly brands. This would spare the customer of time; by collecting all the products they need in one place, and doing the background checking for them, and knowledge; by introducing them to brands they may not have heard of before, and provide them with information about sustainability that the dishonest brands do not want to provide for them. Today, Ence works together with partnering brands to encourage and educate business leaders who take the responsibility of being more sustainable, so that these types of businesses together can evolve and take up a bigger market share together. By connecting these business leaders together, Ence aims to create a hub for sustainable brands to facilitate their growth. Ence consists of a team of 9 dedicated employees, volunteering for a cause they find important.

SaleAid

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.

The Wilde Shop

HISTORY: The idea came a year ago, after a few years of owning & running a successful women's designer vintage clothing store in Copenhagen. Observed how COVID19 affected consumer spending and surge in e-commerce. Inquiries about alternative payment solutions. Consistent increased sales, consumer excitement and interest focused on luxury branded bags. THE BUSINESS IDEA IN A NUTSHELL: Building a community-driven marketplace, facilitating buying and trading exclusive luxury designer bags, thus empowering members within a circular retail model, run by female entrepreneurs. PROBLEM, SOLUTIONS AND VALUE CREATION: People are looking for designer luxury bags, especially in Denmark. The consumer market for luxury bags is a 2.4 USD billion industry worldwide. However, current options for luxury bags can be expensive or “cheap”, low quality unverified or unqualified resellers. Alternatively, they are fakes or non-sustainable high street options. Sustainability awareness is forecast to increase in luxury fashion. Furthermore, there is an increased preference to trusted brands. Through our platform, we give access to luxury! Our goal is to amplify an existing & growing community. Key to success will be inclusivity and access, giving all income group consumers across Denmark a platform to buy, rent, sell and trade their luxury items. Through paid membership tiers, we provide early access to events, sales, discounts and financial incentives. We provide consumers from different income brackets access to luxury items via new financial incentives eg. rental, monthly instalments and exchange initiatives COVID has increased e-commerce spend. It has also decreased small brand sales and increased luxury brand focus. This change in mindset is accelerating the sustainable fashion trends. The market share for vintage and second hand industry has increased exponentially the last few years and expected to overtake consumer spending on new fashion in the next decade. We want to offer an affordable solution - new ways of shopping, giving access to luxury products and building a digital community.

Bitlattice

It's a new protocol that will make blockchain obsolete. It's scalable, faster, quantum computer resistant, has Fully Homomorphic Encrypted Entities (FHEE) distributed in the network. The main idea behind BL is to strip human actors of any impact on the network. Thus it is both decentralized (there are no humans led centre) and totally centralized (decision process is meant to be performed by the network, humans supply computing power only). The concept is exceptionally brilliant, the Bitlattice platform may even incorporate any other block chain (database) into one single node of the lattice structure e.g. Bitcoin, solving all their inherent problems such as scalability, tx/s etc. Bitlattice has an ever-expanding 3D lattice with conscious FHEE performing transactions between nodes via wave functions.

Innoscentia

We are a Swedish food-tech startup that aims to disrupt the way we measure the shelf life of food, and thereby eliminate avoidable food waste. Founded in the university town of Lund 2015, we have been devoting the last six years to develop what we are convinced will be the next paradigm shift in the food system – Dynamic Shelf Life Labels. Our labels are equipped with simple and low-cost gas sensor, that reacts with the gases emitted by the spoilage bacteria in degrading food products. We are developing two types of labels in parallel, one analogue (launched first, color shift indication) and one digital (NFC technology, enables connected food products). We are right now on the verge of finalizing our first generation of labels, developed for fresh meat application, and aim to launch during 2022. To accomplish this, we need to expand our team with key roles in line with our upcoming challenges.

Violence against women – particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence – is a major public health problem and a violation of women’s human rights. Global estimates published by WHO indicate that about 1 in 3 (35%) of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. The AI tool is expected to act as a reliable source of information for women on their rights and where to seek different levels of support. The tool will be providing step by step recommendations to victims and act as a helping friend. This intervention is expected to address a chronic development issue and to have a cross-cutting impact on SDG 3 (ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) and SDG 5 ( Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls). Furthermore, the AI tool could also help in building a network for anonymous peer to peer support networks among users who are experiencing similar incidents.
