We have a large network in science and learning communities, and we collaborate with companies, universities, schools, teachers, and education specialists to create high-quality content.

Next Utdanning AS

Next Utdanning AS is an innovative edtech startup focused on modernizing and adapting the education system to meet today’s needs. We develop flexible, digital learning solutions that bridge the gap between theory and practice, making education more relevant to the workforce. The problem we are solving: Traditional education often lags behind the fast-paced changes in the job market. Many educational programs have fixed curricula that do not quickly adapt to the evolving demands of technology-driven industries. As a result, students may graduate without the up-to-date skills required in their fields, creating a disconnect between what they learn and what is actually needed in the workplace. Why we do this: We believe that education should be flexible, current, and directly aligned with the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s job markets. Through Next Utdanning AS, we aim to enhance the learning experience by offering modular courses, personalized learning pathways, and technology-driven teaching methods that integrate practical experience.

FiltraCare

FiltraCare is developing an innovative cigarette filter collection and recycling system to help cities and local communities tackle the international growing problem of cigarette waste. The mision is to provide an efficient, eco-friendly way to collect, store, and recycle cigarette filters, transforming a harmful pollutant into a valuable resource while reducing environmental damage caused by microplastics. Cigarette filters are the most common form of litter globally, contributing heavily to environmental pollution. They break down into microplastics that harm marine life and biodiversity. FiltraCare aims to address this problem by creating a scalable system that allows cities and businesses to collect and recycle cigarette filters before they are littered in landfills or oceans. The problem is widespread, affecting urban areas, natural environments, and public spaces worldwide, with billions of filters discarded every year. At FiltraCare, I have developed custom cigarette filter collection devices designed for urban environments and public spaces. These ashtrays will in the future collect used filters, which will be stored in airtight containers to prevent contamination. Filters will be sent to our recycling partner, who recycles them. It is the goal for FiltraCare to be able to recycle cigarette filters internally. Currently I am in the process of realising the pilot project in collaboration with local businesses and city authorities that are helping me fine-tune the logistics and scaling potential. By integrating this solution into existing urban infrastructures, we offer a seamless process for reducing cigarette filter waste. The idea for FiltraCare came when I realized how ubiquitous and damaging cigarette filters are to our environment. Walking through city streets, parks, and beaches, I saw the big amount of cigarette waste and understood its long-term impact on ecosystems. This prompted me to dive into research, learning that cigarette filters are composed of non-biodegradable materials that release microplastics into nature. Fueled by a passion for environmental sustainability and innovation, I decided to focus all my energy on creating a solution to this pressing problem, believing that even small changes in waste management can lead to big environmental improvements.

Knitspot

Knitstop is a slow fashion project where finest natural materials and best craftsmanship meet contemporary sustainable designs, while unemployed skilful female artisans with immigrant background from Helsinki get a chance to get integrated economically and be empowered for their passion for crafts. Our summer collections consist of palm raffia and recycled T-shirt yarn bags, while in winter we concentrate on stylish and warm alpaca and angora beanies and super popular functional alpaca hoods. In 2024 we aimed to test and launch new revenue generating channels to ensure stable profit and growth during mid (march-may) and low (june-august) seasons: offline workshops and courses in Helsinki and online sales of digital products (tutorials, patterns, courses). We plan to concentrate on development, promotion and sales of our digital products based on existing patterns currently used by our knitters for manufacturing as this channel allows the project to scale and grow internationally. The core issue that Knitspot addresses lies within the broader crisis of modern fast fashion: average content of natural fibers in a fast fashion “woollen sweater” is just between 0-4%, supply chain is shady, production is run in countries with cheapest possible labour, quality is horrible, unwanted stuff is wasted. The downturns of the existing mass market system simply do not fit the criteria of mindful consumers. Our mission is to create a vibrant, DIY-fashion and sustainable knitwear brand that offers exclusive, limited-edition physical goods and one-of-a-kind knitwear design patterns. We are dedicated to fostering slow fashion principles by providing expert consultancy and offering both online and offline learning experiences for individuals and companies, including team-building events and therapeutic crafting sessions. Our goal is to cultivate a close-knit community of sustainable fashion enthusiasts and crafters, spreading joy and happiness through fiber crafts and the art of creative slow living.

TalentSpringForCreators

Vi mangler: en eller to programmører, som brænder for at udvikle en virkelig fed platform med meget potentiale på baggrund af et hul i markedet. Platformen skal indeholde mulighed for at lave en profil af sig selv og sine kompetencer samt et “musiker-CV”. Hertil skal det være muligt at linke op med andre i branchen alt efter hvad man “søger”, hvor man kommer ind i nogle forskellige kategorier inde på platformen som; sanger, sangskriver, producer, artist - osv. Hertil skal man også kunne kategoriseres efter, hvilken genrer man ønsker at arbejde med. Platformen: skal søge at fange alle i branchen, da der er historie for, at man ikke når ud til dem, som i forvejen er etableret i branchen samt besidder et netværk. Dette undgår vi ved at inddele profilerne på platformen i tre kategorier. Begynder, øvet og professionel. Her vil man kun have mulighed for at kontakte personer i egen kategori samt dem under en, da det bibeholder en kompetence status samt relevansen. Samtidig er der mulighed for at skrive, hvad man søger, hvilket bidrager til netværks relevansen. Man skal dog have mulighed for at pitche sine kompetencer ved at skrive til TalentSpring, som derefter vil hjælpe med at sætte dem sammen med individer, som kunne finde det relevant og afhjælpe en talentudvikling på disse henvendelser - her ville det være ideelt at modtage støtte, som kunne afdække dette talentforløb og dermed skabe relevans for hele fødekæden. TalentSpringForCreators: er dermed en platform som skaber muligheder for alle aktører i branchen uanset om du er live-musiker eller producer. Det er et større, men overskueligt projekt, som vil bidrage til alle afkroge af musikbranchen, da det vil øge kvaliteten i hele fødekæden indenfor sangkomposition samt eksport og formidling i form af udvalgte samarbejdspartnere.

Frinans

Vågner du også ind i mellem og tænker, at det der arbejde, det har jeg faktisk ikke så meget lyst til i dag? Hvad skal det til for? Hvorfor skal det fylde så meget i vores liv? Måske du ofte vågner sådan. Vi slider og slæber i hamsterhjulet. Mere arbejde. Mindre søvn. Færre timer brugt på dem vi holder af og det vil bedst kan lide at lave. Vi føler os ufuldstændige, uforløste og konstant stressede. Sådan havde jeg i det i hvert fald. Min løsning? Økonomisk uafhængighed. Økonomisk uafhængighed, også kendt som FIRE, Financial Independence Retire Early, går ud på at spare aggressivt op tidligt i livet og investere pengene, så du kan leve af afkastet i stedet for at gå på arbejde. Sådan lidt forsimplet sagt. Mit formål med Frinans er at vise dig, hvordan du kan sætte din privatøkonomi i system. Op med indtægterne, ned med udgifterne og gang i investeringerne. Kort og godt, et exit fra hamsterhjulet.

NordicFuture

NordicFuture is developing a platform that uses AI to match university students with study-relevant student jobs. Experience in a study-relevant job is one of the most important factors when applying for a full-time job after completing one’s studies. A study shows that 91.8% of students with study-relevant jobs during their studies are employed two years after graduating, whereas only 57.2% of those without such jobs have found employment. Another study shows that only 44% of university students are employed in a study-relevant student job. The problem is that many students find it difficult to start the job search, and once they begin, they struggle to find relevant student jobs. From the employers' perspective, we have found that many companies experience challenges in finding the right candidates, while others are unaware of the value a student worker can contribute to their firm. At NordicFuture, we aim to make the job search easier by creating a platform that turns the job search process on its head. Students only need to register on the platform by uploading their CV, after which they can wait to be contacted as soon as a study-relevant job matching their skills becomes available. To further elaborate on their profiles, the students will be asked to take a personality test to ensure that we can facilitate the most suitable matches. The AI will leverage insights into competencies acquired through diverse university studies, using this information to evaluate candidates' skill profiles based on the educational background outlined in their CVs. It will also have knowledge of competencies acquired through previous jobs. Overall, the AI will consider three factors when assessing the competencies and personality of a student: Completed education, professional experience, and the results of the personality test. The profile formed by these three factors will then be compared against the requirements of vacant positions in terms of competencies and personalities to create a match. At the same time, we make it easier for employing companies to find and filter relevant candidates without incurring high costs. We achieve this by attracting a large pool of job-seeking students to our platform. As with the process for the students, our AI then analyzes each candidate's competencies and the employers' requirements to make optimal matches. The AI will be asked to find 3-5 suitable candidates (or however many the employing company thinks is appropriate) which will be sent to a job interview. Thanks to the efficiency of our platform, we can dedicate resources to communicating the value of student workers to companies that may be unaware. By doing this, we will expand the pool of available student jobs, ultimately resulting in a higher percentage of students securing study-relevant jobs. We, the two founders of NordicFuture, are university students ourselves, who have experienced firsthand the challenges of searching for study-relevant jobs. Being part of the student community, we are attuned to the sentiments and experiences of our peers regarding study-relevant employment. An education is not just an education; it is the start of one's career. However, for many students, taking the next step and launching that career is currently a time-consuming and often discouraging process. This is why we believe a new approach to searching for student jobs is needed.
