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.

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)

Squire

Squire is currently developing a marketplace that facilitates the connection between freelancers and customers. For the freelancers, we provide them with a platform where they can work effortlessly choosing their own rates and schedule. No more stressful job search! They can become a Squire freelancer and start earning with a mere few clicks. For the customers, Squire provides a consolidated marketplace with a variety of services to choose from. They no longer have to worry about service quality due to our rating algorithm and never again do they have to worry about traditionally unresponsive service providers as we ensure a reply or an equally qualified alternative. Some of the founders have worked as freelancers on competing job platforms, and know the needs and shortfalls different freelancers experience when working. We have taken this feedback and added features that counter the negative experiences and allow for a satisfactory experience when working on Squire. In the case of the customers on the platform, our platform provides an easy step by step process, allowing customers to find freelancers much faster than using traditional methods. We have experienced that many people around us have lost their jobs. We want to build a solution to this, providing people who have lost their income a means to earn a living. Efficient access to services is something we believe the danish economy lacks, by creating new demand and supply for service jobs, we hope to stimulate the economy by creating a platform that encourages spending and income generation during a time of suppressed economic growth.

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.

Our installations is doted with filters eliminating micro-plastics in water up to 0.2 micron. Its functionality will decrease the waiting time of getting a drink and reduce queues, but above all we are focused on providing environmental friendly solutions.

Our ultimate vision is a waste free world, where 100% of the waste we produce is recycled – or even better not produced where its possible!

The University of Copenhagen aids us with consultants, an office space, workshops and much more, they don't own or control our project. Team members doing academical research here usually keep collected data to write papers. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS AND HOW? The academical inputs we get elevates the learning potential for our users, does come from students and professors. With gamification the end result is a tool for students, teachers and the general population. Our learning-lab is an open space for experimenting with new ideas to generate new study practices. The traditional digital games medium offers great potential for learning, commonly players get proficiency in certain areas after playing games. Language and communication skills are one example. Most games are very entertaining, and do teach players certain things, but the learning process is not structured. While many educational games focus on the teaching aspect but don't utilize the other affordances of the media as described. They are quite frankly boring. Our mission is to make great games combining both worlds. The problem we solve is that people want to learn but they find conventional learning methods insufficient and disengaging. Also teachers are stuck with old tools that cannot keep up with the modern student. But the publishing world and the market needs new products to sell, to keep up with demand.

The BikeBuddies upcycles discarded bikes so citizens and companies easily can get their hands on a fully functioning recycled second-hand bike. A concept that benefits people's health, the mobility in society, the economy and our Planet. In Denmark, more than 300.000 bikes are produced every year and more than 15 % of those end up being discarded. Our mission is to save discarded bikes from being remelted by refurbishing them to give them new lives. Our vision is to revolutionize the way bikes are recycled in Denmark and that way inspire other businesses to pursue a circular approach in their business models. With so many bikes and resources going to waste every year, the idea behind The BikeBuddies was a call to action of creating a business based on a circular economy to help reduce waste in Denmark. By being a front-runner in the era of the circular economy, we can hopefully inspire many more people, entrepreneurs, and businesses to think circularity and sustainability into their operations and everyday life.
