Leakproof underwear so comfortable and gorgeous, you’ll want to wear them every day of the month - leaks or not. ------ Hala Collective is an ambitious apparel brand bringing a game-changer collection of underwear to market in 2023. We set out to design leakproof underwear so comfortable and gorgeous, you’d want to wear them every day of the month - leaks or not. That’s exactly what we’ve designed; underwear that evolves with you throughout the month – from dry days and discharge to periods, post-partum and incontinence – so you can get on with life, on your terms. After all, if your underwear’s not doing anything, why are you even wearing it? But we don’t just want to launch an amazing product; we want to do it as responsibly and respectfully as possible. That’s why we are on a mission to be the world’s most transparent underwear (don’t worry, not literally). The apparel industry leaves a deep imprint, impacting not only the planet, but also the people who produce and consume its products. We are committed to doing our part by sourcing in accordance with leading social and environmental standards and by working to increase traceability and transparency. So, where are we now? Over the last 1.5 years, we’ve been researching, designing and prototyping the most comfortable, functional and safe underwear on the market. We’ll be launching in 2023.

Spacelab AS is a Norwegian LogTech company. We are creating a SaaS platform with tools and products to optimize the space, weight, and asset utilization in logistics. From creating and visualizing packing plans for shipping containers to asset management systems designed to maximize your asset utilization grade. Assets are underutilized, of the 700 million plus TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent) shipped globally, only 60 - 70% are utilized, and 30% are shipped empty. Spacelab is envisioning a future where optimization of space and weight, reduces both emissions and cost for a global logistics market. With the current state of the global shipping and logistics industry where prices have increased more than 10X over the past 18 months, and the huge disruptions to supply chain caused by container shortages and lack of transportation assets. We will optimize and aid the situation through digital solutions offering more control and better utilization. Spacelab started because we saw a opportunity to create something new, to aid in breaking down industry silos, and building a platform we truly love to create, with the technology we believe in.

Hi, We are blankt - a fledgling art-tech startup from Stockholm, Sweden. The trend towards more personalization and customization is everywhere you look today. That's where blankt comes in. The vision is to be the platform where people, without any design experience, can create the art they want. It is then up to them to choose whether they want the art printed as a physical product or whether they want it digitally, e.g. in the form of an NFT.

Skills to the Future, is developing a digital learning platform to help schools to provide supplementary STEM courses in topics where they lack the resources or competence. We think that our present education could be better. Now the content comes more from looking in the rear mirror, than through the windshield. It should take better account of the constant acceleration of our living environment. We want to help the schools to provide our youth education that trends to the future as much as possible. We cannot exactly tell what skills in 10 years are needed, but we can make good guesses and at least show them in the right direction. Our obligation is to give our youth a kick and a spark starting to learn new skills for the future. How we differentiate ourselves from the other course providers? Our pillars 4 are: #1 The quality of pedagogy first We align, curate, and orchestrate all our course material to achieve pedagogic competence and meet the quality requirements of the ‘Finnish Education Standards’. #2 The how: Blended project-based learning with a flipped approach Digital courses mostly rely only on the delivery of educational material. Our digital platform relies on blended open-ended project-based learning with a flipped approach. That means that also we deliver the educational material online but that’s only one-half of what we do. We also deliver teacher/educator lead workshops, Q&As. We want to ensure that the student really can utilize the information given and convert that to skills by practicing aka by doing homework. Just watching videos and answering some quizzes gives you the illusion you have now learned a skill! #3 High impact needs high completion rates By following and complying with the Finnish pedagogical guidelines we aim to raise the completion rate from Udemy like under 10% to over 80%. A raise in engagement is achieved also with help from our 4th pillar. #4 Co-operating and collaborating with the schools We aim to co-operate with the schools by trying to include our courses in each school’s learning curricula and embed them in the school’s teaching environment. We also aim to collaborate with schools by co-creating courses on topics they want. Searching co-workers with a calling I have been working on this project for a couple of years quite loosely. Soon, when the Helsinki Education Hub starts and opens its doors, we are applying to the EdTech Incubator program. So now is the time to onboard and start the cruise, isn’t it? A person on my wish list for co-founders and early team members could be: - a teacher, educator, course builder, or at least be interested in or somewhat familiar with pedagogy. Curating the courses would be one of the tasks - a tech guy who would run and tackle the Learning Management System or Virtual Learning Environment in all its complexities - a hacker, data guy, designer, or whoever who would join testing and building the product/service in the right direction and helping it grow - an audio/video person who would be in building the courses and participating in the marketing activities broadly understood - a content provider because we are going to build ourselves only some MVP’s - there are many other jobs and tasks you could do, so practically anyone who is self-motivated is welcomed to join! My primary target is to have an impact on my activities. Even though money helps in living, I would rather make a ding in the education universe than get wealthy. I prefer diversity in age, gender, and nationality and I am searching for like-minded people who want to share my calling. I am not inviting you to join right away. Working as a co-founder is like marriage, you just can’t quit when you feel like it. Therefore, it’s best for both parties just to make a small project together and after the experiment, we know how we like to proceed. Please contact me markku.porvari@mit.fi or just call +358 40 725 2547.

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.

Flox is an agtech startup which wants to use robotics and AI to enhance farmers' lives. The worst thing for a farmer is to see their crops destroyed and, nowadays, one of the main causes of that are wild animals. Damages amount to billions just in Sweden, but the problem is global and there are currently no efficient solutions. At Flox we use autonomous drones and AI-based image recognition to create virtual fences around the cultivated areas to protect farmers' properties from wild animals such as wild boars and roe deers.

Lalatoys is a new startup, building a sharing economy retail service for children’s toys. The concept is simple: you sign up and pick the toys you want to play with. Whenever the toy becomes needless for your child, send it back and get something else. Billions of dollars are put into the children's toy market yearly, and of these, millions of unwanted toys are send to landfills every year. What is even worse is that a high amount of children's toys are produced from non-biodegradable plastic. By swapping instead of shopping, we can let our children play in a more eco-friendly way. We launched in Marts 2021 and spend more than a year to adapt and develop the concept to fit the market. Now we have had +1000 subscribers and expect to grow steady through the next year! Aside for daily operation and development of the platform and its features which is essential for us to be a scalable business. The idea started, when I, Dinesan, became father for the first time last year. We bought a lot of toys for our daughter (and still do), but in the end it showed that most of the toys our daughter didn't play with after a very short period - it was quite frustrating that we spend money of something, we either would loose money on reselling and would pile up together with the rest. Currently we are three people in the team: Dinesan Rasiah (Founder - CEO) Christian Nielsen Henriksen (Co-founder CTO) Nicolai Varney (CMO) Jannie Varaney (COO)
