ColouReef

We are a new social startup named ColouReef and we are going to rethink and innovate the fashion industry. As you probably know, the fast fashion industry has a more negative impact on our environment and society than it does good. Being one of the most polluting ones, the industry emits more CO2 into the atmosphere than international flights and maritime shipping combined. Moreover, it is a water-consuming giant that is responsible for 20% of all industrial water pollution worldwide. Additionally, fast-fashion companies that produce garments in the global south, are profiting by exploiting local labour and nature. Fast fashion is the problem. Ever changing trends, consumerism and the fear of being left out, affects people psychologically, as fashion collections’ frequency jumped from 2 to 4 per year in 2000 to 12, 16 and sometimes 24 different collections per year in 2019. As a result, in 2014 to compare with 2000, on average people bought 60% more clothes and kept them just half as long. Consequently, this behaviour created another major problem of the industry – waste. Around 85% of the textile ends up in landfills or being burned, while barely 15% are recycled. In 2017 – 16.9 million tons of textile was produced, and only 2,6 million tons were recycled. The problem is, that many consumers in the global North are being held as hostages by the fast fashion trends, without many, if any, sustainable alternatives. This is our solution to the problems above: • To create a fashion rental service based on a circular economy, that allows customers to own different garments by paying a monthly subscription. In this way we will be able to reduce the impact of the fast fashion while allowing people an opportunity to change their outfit and style more often. • We will offer clothes ONLY from sustainable companies, which care about our planet and everyone living on it. Meaning that clothes will need to be produced sustainably and ecologically and/or contain recycled fabrics, as well as not to exploit labour within their supply chain. • Damaged and worn out clothes will be returned back to the clothing brand to upcycle or will be recycled and/or upcycled locally by ColouReef. This way we will fight together the problem of enormous waste caused by the industry. • We will change the habits of the consumers, by providing an alternative to own and wear sustainable clothing for a period of time instead of owning cheap and vastly produced fashion garments. At the same time, we will educate our customers about the damages that the textile industry is doing to our environment. • As the name of our company implies, we want to help to protect coral reefs that are on the verge of extinction. Coral reefs are a vital part of the whole underwater ecosystem. Warming ocean and ocean acidification are two of the main reasons why corals are bleaching and dying around the world. Besides our effort to transform the fashion industry into a more sustainable version of it, we will also support selected NGOs that are fighting against coral extinction. We are looking for people thinking in the same way, seeing the problems and wanting to solve them by disrupting the fashion industry.

Glucostratus Oy

In chronic diseases like diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure patients make important regular measurements at home. The results are important to healthcare professionals, but today they are still mainly handled through paper records. There is little visibility to patients' status between appointments, and analyzing the results consumes a lot of time. In order to improve care quality and productivity, healthcare providers are now introducing digital processes, and they need a solution for remote monitoring of patients with these large chronic conditions. Glucostratus uses mobile and cloud technology to help healthcare providers to transform the care of asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure from paper records prevalent today to a digital process based on shared up-to-date data and intelligent analytics. For new methods like virtual care and artificial intelligence to be feasible in chronic conditions, patient-generated data must be digital and up to date. We cover these large conditions with one service, and we offer a unique easy-to-use IoT solution for the big group of elderly diabetics with no IT skills which allows us to cover the diabetes needs of the rapidly growing home care sector. Our solution is already in daily use at innovative care providers, and we have now over 20 active sales cases in Finland spearheaded by occupational healthcare providers and asthma clinics. Focusing on tools that enable care providers to manage their growing patient populations with asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure, we can build a major international SaaS business.

FlowRobe

Team FlowRobe are on a mission. We got this burning desire for a sustainable fashion industry and to give clothes new lives by creating flow in your wardrobe. Our app is the most fun, simple and safe marketplace that you can ever imagine. Tinder, eBay and Instagram – just for “preloved” secondhand and cool fashion! It’s 2021 – and although sustainability, fashion and e-trading trend like never before, only about 1 out of 20 in the Western World trade secondhand online. It turns out that the current marketplaces are too hard, risky and outdated. That’s an issue for our kids and grandkids when the consumption of just a single t-shirt pollutes like two hours of hot shower and eight kilo conventional meat. But we got a groundbreaking solution. Try to imagine – that all those leftovers you got at home were fast to upload and easy to sell. Imagine if swiping unique secondhand and 24-hour auctions made it fun to buy – with full return from validated users through safe transaction systems. What if we could enter our wardrobe from everywhere? Even follow, like and comment on friends and influencer’s clothes, and women easily borrow from each other. That’s how we’re imagining FlowRobe – the digital and social wardrobe. This is basically everything that young people, modern mothers, you and I didn’t know we needed. We reach our target audiences through influencers, online communities and media stunts – along with help from our animated friends Florian and Roberta. Because it’s time we get a responsible clothes consumption. Time to cultivate fashion just like art, culture and music. Time to give clothes new lives and have flow in our robes.
