JOBSTAR

Jobstar is a recruitment platform that changes the way companies find candidates today, and not least makes it easier and much more intuitive for the candidates. The platform is based on a philosophy of anonymity and an easy gamification approach for candidates. We advocate more diversity and equality in the recruitment process resulting in less stress, more effective and respectful dialogue between candidates and companies. Candidates no longer have to search for job - the job finds you.

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.

Worthmore

Every year over 150 million smartphones are replaced across Europe each year. Today over 80% of those devices find their way into our drawers, wasting millions of dollars and tonnes of valuable resources. You may even have a few lying around yourself. We think this is a problem, so we developed a system that simplifies the process of converting your used phones into money for yourself or an impact donation to one of our partners in 3 easy steps. The secondhand smartphone market is expected to explode from €10 Billion today to €45 billion by the mid-2020s. Our mission is to become "what to do with your used smartphone" within the next two years and be the most efficient at capturing the supply of used devices by introducing sustainable incentives that will engage our customers to make an impact, and help us "close the loop".

Uniclub

We're creating a digital study abroad start-up that aims to increase mobility by boosting the encouragement among students within higher education to study abroad. Another motivation for the project was the Danish government's goal of sending 50% of students within higher education abroad to incorporate an international dimension into their danish study program. Given the tools provided by the Government, we aim to educate, consult and help students go take a semester abroad to develop their personal profile. Today's way is old fashioned - paperwork, stamps, mails ( the slow kind 🐌) and loads of Visa's and questions. Our platform gives the student the step by step process needed to get any bigger task done. Once signed up, we make sure that you have all the credit eligible courses you need from our online course catalogue, a signed learning agreement, an insurance and an acceptance letter. All in less than a week and without leaving your keyboard. We started a digital study abroad agency based on our own experiences studying abroad. Having been at a guest university gave us a big boost in our competencies, which we would encourage anyone to do! This is why we developed uniclub, the best way to study abroad.

Lalatoys

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 are currently in the progress of building the platform. The platform and its features are essential for us to be a scalable business and require our deepest attention at the moment. 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) Thanusaan Rasiah (Developer)

ACTER

The problem today is not that we are lacking ideas or solutions to solve global challenges, but that we are disconnected. Disconnected both on the collaborative level and the knowledge level - an ironic fact, considering that humanity has never been more connected. The problem, simply put, is that there currently is no structure and no clear overview, which has resulted in a fragmented ecosystem of people and organisations working in silos. This is hardly news to anyone, however, the question and ongoing challenge has been; how do we change this?  With Acter, we are on a mission to solve this problem. We are making it easier to identify and locate collaborators, engage with individuals, collaborate with organisations, and coordinate and share knowledge across initiatives working towards the same goals. With Acter we do not believe that technology is the single solution or our sole saviour. However, technology holds the potential of uniting efforts and organising ourselves in new and better ways. It allows us to zoom out and provide a clear understanding on the part that we play in the ecosystem, enabling us to affect systems at a global scale by coordinating collective action.

RØRT KØBENHAVN

Award-winning RØRT makes "pålægssalat" like you've never had it before. RØRT rethinks this old classic within Danish cuisine focusing on craftmanship, sustainability, convenience and, most importantly, the ultimate taste. RØRTs mission is to supply the Danes with great tasting organic "pålægssalat" that can be enjoyed at all occasions. Most people associate "pålægssalat" with a mass-produced products full of mayonaise, poor ingredients and loads of additives. RØRT wants to alter this by making honest and clean products where the vegetables play a lead role, and where most ingredients are locally-sourced and seasonal. RØRT currently runs a small deli-shop at Torvehallerne in Copenhagen, where RØRTs products can be purchased.
