Lokalist

Who we are Each year in Denmark, over 2 million people upgrade their smartphones, but few have a clear idea of what to do with their previous device. Of course, they could sell it or trade it in, but today these options are primarily perceived as a hassle, a scam, or a waste of time. This results in Danes often having two or more smartphones wasting in a dusty drawer. Our mission to reduce this waste and to make the best use of their potential by providing a transparent, fair, and simple way to ensure that our old technology gets used to its fullest extent. The user can then support sustainable causes through our platform with the value of their used phones. Why do we exist? Used phones are extremely valuable. In fact, every year we estimate that at least one billion kroner worth of used phones enters the market in Denmark alone. On top of this, smartphone production has tremendous environmental and social impacts that are seldom talked about. Making the best use of minerals and labor that has already been put into our phones is the least we can do. Through research, we found that most people do not sell or trade-in their devices today for various reasons. However, over 90% of people responded that they would donate the value that their used phone could be sold for, entirely or in part, to philanthropic causes so long as it was easy and transparent. Therefore, not only are the causes we support genuinely good, but they provide the motivation to awaken a large and growing market. Today there is no platform where this can easily be done. Lokalist aims to fill this gap in the market and be the platform where people and businesses can easily donate all or part of the value of their used technology to support sustainable actions we all want to see more of. What happens to the used phones? The used phones we receive are safely wiped, complying with Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They then have a 92% chance to be refurbished or harvested for working components. The semi-new phones are sold in markets across the world to be loved by future users. The phones that cannot be refurbished are responsibly recycled, making sure to reuse minerals that are otherwise impactful to mine. Our values As a company, we focus heavily on integrating the Nordic values of transparency, honesty, community, and simplicity into our mission. This is not typical of our competitors in this space. By being active in the carrying-out of the sustainable causes with our partners, and showing our users instantly how their device could support them, we believe we can help make the best use of our e-waste while spreading the love.

Glimty - Something Norwegian

We have decided to change the direction of being a gifting marketplace to a marketplace focusing on Norwegian quality products. We want to gather smaller Norwegian brands and businesses together to strengthen their position against the larger corporations. We need to make it easier to find and buy good Norwegian local products as well as trying to change consumers buying behavior step by step. From the mall to Glimty to support the smaller ones. If we want to keep the uniqueness and variety of our market within our borders, we need to act now.Glimty - Something Norwegian.  We started Glimty because we saw that during the last couple of years having an online store has become more of a nuisance than an advantage to many businesses. Each of these new stores simply makes the ecommerce space even more crowded for local, well-crafted and original products. Furthermore, online stores are becoming difficult to navigate and currently have very low conversion rates. Our solution takes on the challenge of improving the customer experience of existing online stores and marketplaces to the level of personalization only provided by a visit to an actual physical store. We have built the best solution in the market to guarantee that the customer receives online assistance from a semi-automated digital clerk resulting in a higher conversion rate and potential recurring customers.We have partnered with a number of independent and small Norwegian retailers and Norwegian made products/Services as we want to give these companies a voice and a chance to compete with the larger brands and companies that saturate the market due to their huge marketing budgets. We provide an increased likelihood of a customer to purchase one of our partner’s products as every interaction occurs through one-on-one conversations when the user is already in the mindset of making a purchase of a gift. We also offer their products in personalized collections. They obtain a commercialization channel totally focused on the shopping experience of the customer. The benefits of being featured in our store, blog or chatbot describing the characteristics of the products increases their marketing reach, obtaining customers that discover these products whilst in the mindset of buying gifts. Daniel and James met each other 2 years ago and have been studying many frameworks and theories of entrepreneurship and innovation throughout their master studies at University of Oslo. Being students we started with little and so we had to rely on our ability to adapt to any situation by implementing and recombining our resources in an innovative way, in particular through our connections and networks. The gifting aspect is just the first phase and a method for introducing the Chatbot Technology into the Norwegian market. This approach also came from the experience that our CEO, Susanne Wesner, obtained by founding a company in 2015 and suffering first hand the struggle of building a business relying solely on an ecommerce store as a source of revenue. Daniel built that first version of an automated customer assistance system for Susanne’s business, and with feedback and work from Susanne and James, the team continued developing the solution towards the technology that Glimty is introducing to the market.

My Personal Health Bank

For a quick intro pls see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/168TTZsNef43Awmxz3iALMhx2saVk5ihe/view?usp=sharing The problem & the idea Data may be the driver for change, improvement and understanding, in many sectors, amongst these also healthcare. Patient data is an important creator of knowledge both on an individual level but also on a group, regional or country level. On an individual level, patient data may support and build the clinical decisions, it may provide more efficient treatment, both in regard to time and economy and secure that knowledge about the individual is transferred fast and unbiased to the healthcare staff. For the patient, sharing of his/her data will secure a better understanding of the needs and support better diagnosis and treatment. Patient data are collected and noticed in some form in most countries, either on paper or electronically. Many countries have some sort of an electronic patient journal, either on a country level, regionally or locally. However, many countries also still use pen & paper. This challenges the storage and continuity of data collection and transfer. Patient data records in electronic form reduces the risk of losing valuable data but also allows the data to be shared if needed. The acknowledgement of the importance on several levels of having patient data and the absence of a central, regional or local electronic patient data recording system in Sub-saharan African countries (the target region) initiated the idea of looking at how it would be possible to collect and make patient data readily available for treatment, benefitting both patient and caregiver, and in a bigger perspective, for research and strategic healthcare initiative planning. During small initial market and possibility investigations the idea of creating a patient owned electronic healthdata journal app arose. Mobiletechnology is both greatly advantaged and outspread in the target region and the number of mobile consumers are increasing every year. It was and is anticipated, that the possibility of having a central system is, due to structural and financial reasons, not a possibility but to empower the patient with the ownership of own data through an app seemed a possibility. It is important to underline that data must be generated from the healthcare provider and then fed into the patientjournal at the site of the consultation. The idea is to have the most relevant data collected and stored in the app, ie. medication, allergies, blood type, diagnosis and immunizations. The data that will go into the app is transferred from a healthcare provider at the site of the healthcare visit, eg a clinique, hospital, other. That means that the healthcare provider must have access to a tablet or smartphone containing the healthcare provider app which connects to the patients healthcare data app at the visit. Also any healthcare provider with the app will followingly get access to the data from the patient by connecting (and by being given access by the patient) to get patients healthdata app. So, in summary the basic idea is to provide all citizens with a tool that will help them keep track of their most important healthcare related data including completed and planned treatments, diagnosis, tests, allergies etc. The idea is further that the data is owned by the citizens/patients, and not by the non-existing national or any hospital specific system. Upon each contact with the healthcare personnel the patient's information is updated by the healthcare personnel (e.g. symptoms, diagnosis, tests, treatment, next visit etc.) The basic idea/assumption is that no national healthcare system will be developed in near or short-term future, and that a personally owned "electronic patient journal" can have a significant positive impact on the quality of treatments because of a more complete picture of the patient is available at the time, when a diagnosis and treatment is to be decided.
