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.

Supplybase is a platform which streamlines activities related to outsourcing of part manufacturing. If you can order your favourite pizza online in 5 minutes - why does it then have to be such a time-consuming and frustrating process to order a piece of lasercut metal or a 3D printed prototype? While the B2C industry is becoming increasingly digitalized, utilizing data to optimize inventory, product flow and customer engagement, the B2B industry is lagging behind. This is especially true within the industrial order-producing companies, where many companies have little online presence, and in the industry, only 19% have websites with online purchase options. The ambition of Supplybase is to become a multisided platform, where purchasers, engineers and hobbyists can identify, trade with, and review the many order-producing suppliers of metal, plastic, and 3D printed parts. This is done by improving the process from identification and request for quotation, to purchase and repurchase in an easy and streamlined online experience. Using this platform, the order producing companies can capture and use their own data, gathered during the quotation/purchase/repurchase process, in an easily understandable manner. How do we achieve this? We start by creating a searchable platform. The we build the tools to help both sides of the transaction, to achieve a smooth purchase process. Supplybase is founded by Sebastian Schlicker based on his experiences when dealing with order producing companies within metal and 3D printing, through his work as a Mechanical Development Engineer and Product Manager in the robotics industry in Odense. SEARCHING FOR TECHNICAL CO-FOUNDER – Are you located in Odense? Are you interrested in start-ups? Do you want to help build a scalable company? Do you feel the urge to start your own entrepreneurial journey? Write Sebastian Schlicker today! We accept inquiries from other roles as well. Contact us to hear more.

Airplant ApS develops innovative and effective solutions to improve the air quality in office settings. Airplant increases the effect of nature's ability to purify and humidify air by combining plants and technology. 20-40 % of office workers experience dry indoor air. The feeling is triggered by dry air or chemicals which cause general discomfort. As you may know, plants reduce chemicals and humidify air. The Airplant system boosts the plant's natural way of working, and an airflow expands the treated area so that one single plant has the effect of 10 plants, corresponding to or better than comparable machines. Ventilation systems switch indoor air with fresh air. But fresh outdoor air is dry during the entire flu season so the Airplant system will humidify the fresh air and also reduce the amount of harmful chemicals. Sustainability is at the heart of our product, our production and everything we do in our company, guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We strive to make the world a better place to live: Airplant's mission is to support health at the office. We love to work with ideas that solve important problems and to bring the products to life, to do product development, prototyping and the initial low volume production. We do our own research and development - standing on the shoulders of NASA, among others. Do you see the potential in a partnership, an investment or would you like to work at Airplant? Please do not hesitate to contact us. Next step: Introduce the Airplant product for offices to the market this fall. Attract commercial competencies to the Airplant company. Frequently given answers: We have a PCT patent pending for the Airplant system. We have a strong partner for sales and service who will bring our product to the Danish market. We are always interested in exploring new ways to improve indoor climate in cooperation with others. The Airplant system yields plenty of opportunity for interaction with other products, e.g. to support solutions for smart buildings and smart cities.

GRASSROOTS aims to revolutionize donations to charity through a digital platform, with the ultimate goal of creating a global standard for donations. The problem that we are trying to solve is that the feedback is very limited when donating to large charitable organizations today - most often a yearly report of what the entire organizations has been doing for that entire year. With single donations there is often no feedback at all. This means that it's not possible to see where your individual donation went, or if it made any difference. The solutions is a tailor made tool for large charitable organizations that improves communication, transparency, customer engagement and enables more efficient work, where donors will be able to see exactly where their donation went. GRASSROOTS is a non-profit organization.
