Meet Aya - the mental well-being solution to help young adults deal better with life's curveballs and mental challenges. The world is heading towards a mental health crisis, and it's sadly an increasing curve. To solve it, traditional tools like therapy, psychological treatments and drugs are just not gonna cut it. So while therapy can do wonders and medicine can work, these solutions are just too expensive, too inaccessible and full of side-effects relative to the size of the problem. And though we're all different and we receive distinct mental (dis)advantages, no mind is just born broken. With better and more diverse tools, the crisis can be averted and millions of people helped. That's why Aya is on a mission to become your trusted and personal companion for mental well-being. Using an interdisciplinary combination of psychology, design and technology, we have set out to help users dealing with stress, depression, anxiety and the major life challenges. In the shape of a conversational app, Aya is accessible 24/7 on iOS and Android, utilizing evidence-based approaches psychology and therapy, helping Aya’s users achieve mental balance by constantly adjusting to their needs of both accessibility, tonality, useful tools and a judgement-free zone. Our long term vision goes beyond what we consider “an app” and “a chatbot”. We imagine a world, where Aya becomes a personally tailored, method agnostic and guilt-free place for mental wellbeing, offering “just-right help” for each individual. It’s not our goal to keep you on your phone, talking to a piece of software though. Rather, our vision is to combine the myriad of knowledge we learn about the user, to always offer what’s needed and help the user doo what works for them: Whether that’s just a chat, mindfulness, gratitude journaling, a reflection exercise or simply a reminder to see your family.

Swash

Swash is the first step in shaping a new data economy where people are rewarded for the value they contribute online. It’s a way for everyday internet users to profit from their data, redefining the balance between people, data businesses, and the internet. The current structure doesn’t acknowledge that, without internet users, the digital economy wouldn’t exist. A select few reap the rewards that belong to the many by collecting, using, and selling our data in shady ways without hesitation or consequence. As a solution, Swash provides access to ethically sourced user data that preserves user privacy and is given with full consent, making the data more ethical and reliable for data buyers. Swash rewards users for the data they already create when they surf the web and recognises them as integral components of the data economy and essential value contributors. We enrich users by allowing them to profit from their data and, through redefining how data is collected and valued, accelerate change. At Swash, we believe that powering change begins by empowering people. The data economy can be made to serve the majority to shape a fairer, more equitable world. The bigger the Swash community, the more value returned.

The Pattern Agency

The Pitch The Pattern Agency is developing a digital B2B marketplace to help the design industry (fashion/interiors/textiles/consumer goods) solve easy access to premium Scandinavian print design through a custom-built marketplace hosting a series of innovative digital services. The What The design industry is digitally immature and has worked according to the same system for many years. However the market is rapidly changing and consumers are becoming more aware which means the old system is becoming obsolete. New digital and readily available services are required and that’s where The Pattern Agency comes in. Buying print design has been analogue for years where many purchases are done at physical trade fairs. But as fairs only occur a few times a year and the customer demand is quickening, the need for readily available print design is increasing. The majority of design companies outsource print design but find it difficult and time-consuming to locate new design talent. Or they ask their over-seas supplier to deliver a print and loose control over copyright and infringement which could be devastating to the brand and the business. We are looking to replace an analogue system with a digital one and in the process changing how the industry operates by inventing services that they didn’t know they needed. The How By developing a user-friendly platform that caters to the mind, eye and business sense of the creative buyer, our aim is to build a full-service platform that incorporates every aspect of the needs of the design industry and thus becomes the only tool required for buying prints, design, inspiration and guidance online. A one-stop-shop and platform. The Why As both founders are design industry professionals, we’ve been frustrated by the lack of out-of-the-box thinking in the industry for years. Founding partner Oskar is a graphic designer and has been commissioned print work for fashion and interior companies historically. He found these processes extremely time-consuming and his commission hollowed at the end of a project and thought there must be a better way of doing this. Founding partner Ellen has been working with freelance designers and know of the frustration and will to get their work out on the market and the struggle to gain audience with companies in the industry. So the design industry is struggling to fin designers and designers are struggling to get in touch with the design industry. This is the problem that we want to solve and in the process disrupt an industry. The Scandinavian design expression is renowned and highly sought after internationally and our aim is to put Scandinavian print design back into the position it had in the 1950s. And to do so using modern technology and invention. We’ve built a rocket and all we need now is rocket fuel in terms of funding but also a business partner with experience of disrupting markets that can push us and the company to success.

byACRE

byACRE was founded in Copenhagen, the heart of Scandinavian’s design hub, with a mission to break down the stigma related to reduced mobility and to help those it serves maintain an active lifestyle without compromise. We design mobility aids for a person, not a patient. Mobility is one of the core values in modern life. It’s also a top challenge facing older adults; and adults with disabilities that have impacted their mobility and lifestyle. The current market for assistive walking devices has failed to adequately support this community, with ageist messages and outdated models that denote feelings of dependence and fragility – an inaccurate representation of today’s thriving older adult community. Since 2017, our mindful designs have won some of the world’s most prestigious awards in design and innovation, including the 2019 RedDot Design Award, the 2017 IF Design Award and the Danish Design Award. “by ACRE” is our quality seal. It’s rooted in the words ‘Active’ and ‘Re-Habitare’ – the Latin word for Back to Life.
