Sseguku

Sseguku has created a platform that can connect Danish lenders with small businesses in Uganda to create financial inclusion for these companies with the use of cloud-based technologies and mobile money. What: The vast majority of small businesses in Uganda do not have the opportunity to borrow from the bank for the establishment and operation of their business. Therefore, the opportunities for development and employment that are necessary to create good living conditions in the country are not created. Microloans are a proven method to remedy this problem. There are others than Sseguku that provide microloans in Uganda, but the need is far greater than the supply. In Denmark, there are opportunities to make contributions to aid organizations and also opportunities to invest sustainably through investment associations, but no other options than Sseguku to provide loans to specific companies and with the opportunity for returns to the lender. Sseguku solves the challenges both in Uganda and in Denmark by establishing a peer-to-peer lending platform where Danish lenders can help finance loans to specific companies identified and assessed by Sseguku's subsidiary in Uganda. The subsidiary in Uganda also helps to manage the repayments from the borrowers and with debt recovery. There are no other companies in Denmark with the same offer for Danish lenders. Sseguku has permission from the Danish FSA in accordance with the Payments Act, §51. How? Sseguku is established, registered and has the necessary permits in both Denmark and Uganda. In Uganda, Sseguku is represented by its Ugandan subsidiary. Sseguku has developed an integrated platform based on cloud technology that includes both the website that lenders use for lending and for information and the management solution used by Sseguku's subsidiary in Uganda to set up loans and manage repayments. The administration solution integrates with the mobile companies' mobile money platforms and with Sseguku's bank accounts. Sseguku has established a financial infrastructure that enables transfers between bank accounts in Denmark and in Uganda, and transfers in Uganda between the bank and the borrowers' mobile money. Sseguku created a network in Uganda in collaboration with an accountant, a lawyer and a number of actors in microfinance and aid organizations. Among other things, Sseguku, in collaboration with DanChurchAid (DCA), has investigated the possibilities of utilizing Sseguku's platform in connection with offering microloans to refugees in camps run by DCA. Why? The two founders: Kiyingi Yekosofaati and Hans Henrik Hammerum have a long-standing friendship that stretches back to the end of the last century. They have both, though in different ways, been deeply involved in microfinance and in developing countries in Africa. Kiyingi through employment in different microfinance institutions in Uganda and Hans Henrik through extensive investments in microloans through a previously similar platform, MyC4, which has existed in Denmark until 2014. Both have also been involved in development activities run by NGOs. Both are driven by a strong will to create financial inclusion and opportunities for low-income groups in Uganda and elsewhere it has value. When circumstances made it possible at the beginning of 2017, the interest gained concrete content and Sseguku was registered first in Denmark and then in Uganda. The most important activity since then has been to obtain permission from the Danish FSA to operate the website aimed at Danish lenders. The first loans were given in November 2018 with funds from the founders and their network and the organization in Uganda has provided loans since with the funds that have been available. The platform is not yet immediately ready to receive contributions from lenders, as some development activities are still pending. We anticipate that the launch and marketing of the platform may begin in early 2021.

Cirqle

Plastic waste and single use packaging is one of the great unsolved problems for our planet. In Europe the average person generates almost 500 kg of waste a year of which 35% comes from packaging. Most of this packaging is used for food and beverage products and is becoming an immense waste problem all over the planet. At Cirqle we want to tackle a part of this problem and believe that one of the grand solutions are a reuse model. We are creating a new paradigm in packaging and want to make it as convenient to reuse as it is to throw away. Our vision is to be the leading platform for reuse packaging in the circular economy. With our pioneering packaging solution, we enable a seamless shift from single use to reuse packaging. We are already breaking new ground with our meal-box service, but the sky is the limit when it comes to reuse packaging. With partners we cover the full supply chain from hardware production and software development to sanitation and logistics for a multitude of packaging solutions making sustainability the easy choice.

Biosphere VR

Our goal at Fox Documentaries is to bring the impacts of climate change closer to those who see it as a distant problem. We take viewers around the world and show them first hand how climate change is already bringing devastating challenges for the worlds most vulnerable communities. Fox Media Documentaries is a forward-thinking and pioneering Danish Documentary company based in central Copenhagen (Christianshavn). We work on developing artistic VR documentaries that have both an emotive and educational impact on audiences. Our newest venture, Biosphere VR ( www.biospherevr.com ), consists of five different cinematic VR-experiences that connect spectators with the climate change crisis through immersive technology. Each of the five experiences is seen through the eyes of a particular local individual (narrator) in Beijing, Jordan, Ethiopia, Kiribati and Morocco. See more here: https://www.biospherevr.com/#biosphere. Each VR-experience runs between 5 and 10 minutes and engages audiences on a deeply personal and emotional level. Simultaneously, the five VR-experiences effectively tap into the fundamental consequences of global warming and provide clear and engaging educational content. These experiences have already received a significant commendation at many highly acclaimed international film festivals including VR Days, COP: DOX and Cinequest Film and VR. In addition, Biosphere’s five individual VR experiences have so far been tested in two different educational institutions: Maglegaard School in Denmark, and Learning Lab at Tsinghua University in Beijing (China). Both tests have produced impressive results, with all spectators reporting an increased motivation for learning following their engagement with Biosphere VR. We have also conducted workshops in the US and at COP-summits. For further information about our educational project, please visit ://www.biospherevr.com/introduction-in-the-school#new-page-35https. In addition to the five existing experiences we have produced, we are interested in producing more stories in other parts of the world: including Germany, the Netherlands, the Arctic, among many others. We also intend to conduct more workshops in order to raise awareness of the climate change crisis, as well as to encourage and inspire more climate change initiatives. We are also looking to expand into museums and to conduct exhibitions. Our current focus is to establish partnerships with foreign governments to provide funding for future productions related to climate change in the developing world.

Klagen.dk

In Denmark, thousands of people each year start new businesses. A part of this process is finding the correct domain. Unfortunately this can be prove to be a difficult endeavour as very few good domains are actually available. This is because of domain speculators. Domain speculators are people that buy domains for the sake of selling them at a high price tag in the future. Very few people are actually aware ways to deal with these speculators, and that they're acquiring their dream domain is actually feasible. At klagen.dk our goal is to help new business find their dream domain, we do this by empowering their fight against domain speculator. We've developed tools and blogs that facilitate the process of filing a domain complaint and we also offer a service of complaining on the behalf of the startup.
