The CompanyWe offer solutions to help companies support their employees and their family members with the emotional effects of moving abroad, connect global talents to opportunities, creating a workplace transitioning platform that will drive company success through diversity and retain top-tier talent. With the support of Innovation Norway, we currently would like to expand our team of interns in helping us with the development of our new chapter. The PeopleWe are a group of internationally-minded people from various backgrounds, currently living in Norway. We work hard and play hard. We maintain an environment where you can be innovative, leveraging your education, experience, passion, strengths and abilities.  So far we represent 6 countries, more than 8 languages and have all lived or studied outside of our home country. We love to laugh and enjoy each other's experience with living abroad.

We work continuously to inspire, motivate  and engage people to work together for more diversity in business.    We aim to close the gender gap. SHE Community strives to make businesses better and by better we mean more diverse. Through events, conferences, study programs, and as a consulting partner to businesses we aim to motivate for diversity and inspire for equality – for all people. SHE community consists of people who believe that diversity drives profitability and progress, and who works directly towards closing the gender gap. We recently launched She Index that measures gender equality in business. She Community was founded in 2014, by two enthusiastic women, who wanted to do more for the current and coming generations.

GRASSROOTS aims to revolutionize donations to charity through a digital platform, with the ultimate goal of creating a global standard for donations. The problem that we are trying to solve is that when donating to large charitable organizations today, the feedback that donors receive when donating is most often a yearly report of what the entire organizations has been doing for that entire year. With single donations there is often no feedback. This means that it's not possible to see where your individual donation went, or if it made any difference. The solutions is a tailor made tool for large charitable organizations that improves communication, transparency, customer engagement and enables more efficient work, where donors will be able to see exactly where their donation went. GRASSROOTS is a non-profit organization.

Reducing construction waste and digitalising renovation and demolition processes. Beoi implements the best of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) for Deconstruction (VDD) - maximising analysis of existing building stock for material/component recovery. Using speedy 3D modelling to establish a communication and analysis basis for project teams, we are looking to transform the methodology of construction for the circular use of its materials! The overall company goal is to implement sustainable, circular practices in construction and replace the costly, ineffecient methods still currently in widespread use. Using cutting-edge methods in BIM, Lean, and Integrated Project Delivery, we are building out a better end-of-life for buildings with extensive and clear-cut benefits for developers, contractors, and public bodies. We have started out in the midst of the 2020 chaos, but have locked down a terrific collaboration with a developer, architect, and technology firm in the building industry with the express goals of creating a circular construction cluster in the Rogaland region. The methods involved have a proven track record, but have yet to be shown as the golden-gun in achieving circular goals - with this collaboration and the huge potential for scaling, we hope to take the industry by storm!

Mendonca Biomed is an early stage life science startup with the aim to develop and validate novel biomarker for the early detection of viral infections in blood with an affordable yet simple detection method that can be universally applied. The company was originally founded by myself Kevin Mendonca in India based on his 15 years of accumulative research knowledge. Preliminary data on the utility of viral miRNA biomarkers for the screening of blood for transfusion transmitted viral infections, which are potentially superior to the currently available markers, and a simplified assay that is cost effective and can be universally adapted, were developed in India. However, due to an innate lack of infrastructure and funding opportunities in India, I applied for the startup Denmark program to move the company to the medicon valley. I recently moved to Demark, registered a privately owned company and currently in pursue of funding to validate the viral miRNA biomarkers for the early detection of HIV, HBV and HCV in donated blood. Around the world, more than 92 million blood donations are collected every year. Screening of donated blood and derived products, for HIV, HBV and HCV is mandatory worldwide. Screening is a key safety measure in protecting recipients from transfusion transmitted infections, especially in developing nations in Africa and Asia, where the donated blood is not processed because of high costs and lack of infrastructure. Moreover, in emergency situation like natural calamities, disasters and sudden outbreaks, the currently available methods are inadequate for on-site screening. Serological testing (antigen and antibody detection assays) have historically been the foundation of blood screening but with huge drawbacks of long window periods. Newer strategies like the PCR based amplification viral genomic DNA/RNA in blood have helped shorten the window period but have not eliminated it. PCR assays have also been known to fail in low viremia and/or suboptimal amplification efficiency. They are far more expensive than the serological assay, requires expertise, specialized equipment and a molecular biology setup, which is not available in the resource poor settings of the developing countries. Our solution is to develop and validate novel viral miRNA biomarkers that have the potential to further reduce the window period and use the unique characteristics of these biomarkers to develop a simple, multiplex (3 in 1), inexpensive probe hybridization assay that can be universally utilized in all settings and conditions. Viral miRNA molecules are easy to validate as biomarkers since the presence of vmiRNA’s is a definite indicator of infected cells. Benefit: Multiplex 3 in 1 test. Method as simple to perform as the serological assay with the benefits of a molecular assay. Can be adapted in any setting, even in the field and low resource conditions in developing nations. Potentially, lower window period of detection compared to any biomarkers that are available in the market currently. Value: High throughput, lower turnover time with lower chances of human error. Advantages of a molecular assay with the simplicity and affordability of a serological assay. Does not require specialized setup, infrastructure and highly trained technicians. Potentially, could detect the infections faster than any other tests in the market, lowering the risk of transfusion transmission. Once this platform has been validated, the product line can be expanded to cover all commercially viable viral infections. A HPV assay based on this platform, for example, could be a potential replacement for the invasive PAP test, and can be performed during a routine blood test. The platform can be further adapted to screen for novel viral infections like SARS, MERS, ZIKA etc. It can be also be developed to screen and control other sporadic outbreaks the like Dengue, Chikungunya etc.
